Hello HIVE friends in this community, I am back with my post, this time I will share another beautiful building with regional nuances in my province, North Sumatra. And if you always follow my posts, you will definitely know that many of my posts in this group show buildings that highlight the regional aspects of an area and this is one of the buildings that I want to discuss next with all of you in this community. and if you ask what the name of this building is, I looked for where the building is but I couldn't find it. This building is right in front of the waterfront of Pangururan City, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra Province.
And let's take a walk starting from the front of the building, the shape of which tapers upwards and the building has a very strong characteristic which shows that this building is a typical Batak building. And it turns out that this building is a church which doubles as a multi-purpose building which is usually rented for wedding blessings and celebrations because of its large yard and if we look at all the knick-knacks in front of this building I see that this is a Catholic church. because there is a symbol of the Virgin Mary flanked by the Batak tribe's symbol of prosperity, the Buffalo Head. And we can find this symbol above the front entrance of the church.
And now let's take a walk to the side of the building to my right, because this building consists of two floors, of course the first floor will be used as well as possible for certain purposes, and one word that makes this building look cool in my eyes is that the building is on the second floor. This one is used for a museum but unfortunately I don't know what the contents of the museum are, whether they are worship tools or relics from the typical Batak tribe in the area and right next to the entrance to the museum we can see the Cicak carving which shows prosperity for the people. We always find the Batak tribe and the lizard symbol in buildings with typical Batak nuances. And in the building on the right side there are also stairs to go up to the second floor of the building apart from the front of the building of course. And on this side I can also see a functioning hand washing basin with a unique shape that resembles a shell and the hand washing basin was deliberately not painted to make it look more aesthetic to them.
Then on the left side of the church building I can see a mini garden where photos are very instagrammable and there is also a statue of the Virgin Mary. Take a look at the mini garden next to this building. It's very clean, even though the side yard on the left is on the floor, but the exotic impression is also very strong. They made the flower pots themselves, then shaped them like wood and painted them to resemble wood too. Then the garden borders were also made to look like wood carvings even though they were real cement that was shaped like wood and resembled the original. And if you look at it overall, there is no rubbish in this place even though last night this building was just used as a place for wedding blessings.
Overall, the nuance of this building is very ethnic and the first time people see the building, starting from the carvings on the shape of the roof of the building and all the accessories attached to it show BATAK.
So what do you think 3 words for this building and leave them in the comments column. Greetings from Tomidiwirja Indonesia
