The Palace of Rokan Hulu (known in Indonesian as Istana Rokan Hulu) is located in the regency of Rokan Hulu, Riau province, Sumatra, Indonesia.[1]
The wooden palace is approximately two hundred years old and was constructed by the Rokan Hulu kingdom, a small kingdom of the Malayu people. It was the residence of the sultan and his family.
The building is notable not only as a relic of this lost kingdom but also due to its architecture. The palace features some outstanding examples of traditional wood-carving. It follows the traditional design of an old, Malayu 'rumah tinggi' house, with a soaring roof and a projecting porch. The palace is now protected as a national monument.
