This church is not only important for Christians in Semarang. But the building is also the landscape of the Old City of Semarang, which is full of history. The Protestant Christian church has the beauty of the original architecture since the 18th century. The church, whose real name is GBIP Immanuel, has a strong magnet for tourists, because it is located in the 'Little Netherland' area which is now increasingly organized. This icon of the city of Semarang should not be missed to visit. Located in the center of the Old City, Blenduk Church has the official name of GPIB Immanuel Church. Founded in 1753, Blenduk Church is the oldest Christian church in Central Java. Naming by mentioning "Blenduk" appears not without reason. The dome-like shape of the roof makes people call this church "Blenduk" or "round" in Javanese. One of the uniqueness of Blenduk Church apart from its European-style interior is the pipe organ hanging on the right side of the church. This organ-like musical instrument was once used as an accompaniment to the worship of Christians who worshiped here. Although it has not operated since the 1980s, this organ still has its own charm for tourists who come. #guidebook
