This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

These are lists of church buildings in Indonesia, based on:

Around 10% of Indonesia's total population are Christians and there are approximately 61000 churches across Indonesia.[1] This list strictly only include notable church buildings and their historical significance in the Indonesian history.

History

The Old Dutch Church's first form, whose base is still visible in Museum Wayang
The lower picture are the early church of Portuguese Binnenkerk (later burned) and the Portuguese Buitenkerk (a heritage building)

In Indonesia, church building in the first stage of its creation were simple, shed-like structures, built from bamboo or wood. Once sizeable congregations had been established, more permanent buildings were erected, which seated hundreds or even over a thousand.[2]

Precolonial era

There is evidence of the presence of Christian communities (Chaldean Church) in north Sumatra as early as the 7th century[3]

Portuguese arrival in Indonesia

the Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in Indonesia, and sought to dominate the sources of valuable spices[4] and to extend their Roman Catholic missionary efforts. Francis Xavier was the most well-known Portuguese missionary in the archipelago, the mission began in 1534 when some chiefs from Morotai came to Ternate asking to be baptised. He later return to Moluccas and spend his time at Halmahera, Ternate and Amboina in 1546-1547, baptizing several thousand locals.[5]

Dutch documents tell us that nearly all inhabitants of Ambon were Catholics, introduced by the Portuguese Jesuits, mostly arrived from Goa. Ambon had four fine church buildings and a small hospital, La Misericordia. The Jesuit Church of St. James was from mid-1605 used for Protestant services and in 1630 it was replaced by a stone building called St. Paul's Church.[2]

Dutch East India company in Indonesia

Catholicism in Indonesia came into dark age when the Protestant-Dutch VOC defeated the Portuguese and took over their possession at Mollucas in 1605 and Solor in 1613. Dutch East India Company or Vereniging Oost Indie Compagnie (VOC) suppressed the Catholic religion within their conquered territories and banned any Catholic missionary activities. Many Catholics were forcibly converted to Protestantism and Catholic churches were changed for Protestant purposes. As a result of their successful campaign in the East Indies and strong sentiment against the Catholics, many of the earliest surviving well-documented church buildings in the Indonesian archipelago are Protestant churches; most of them are concentrated along the north coast of Java and the islands of Moluccas.

Enslaved Catholics are also encouraged to adapt Protestanism and Dutch sounding name, such example occur to the Mardijker people (who were Portuguese speaking creole group) in Batavia and Depok. Catholicism didn't have any particular right in Indonesia until 1808 under governor general Daendels, during the French occupation of Netherlands.

The chapel of Kasteel Batavia

In Batavia few of earliest Protestant church structures in Indonesia are well documented. The first church building in the city was a provisional church, erected in 1625 together with the earlier city hall. In 1632 the foundation for a proper church was laid. This was followed by the first stone to be laid in 1640 and the building, known as Oude Hollandse Kerk ("Old Holland Church"), was finished in 1643.[6] The Old Holland Church was later expanded and renamed "Nieuw Hollandse kerk" ("New Holland Church") in 1736. The new church was shaped octagonally according to Calvinism's focus on the sermon and had a domed roof.[7] The church was toppled by an earthquake in 1808 and later was completely demolished by governor general Daendels as part of his plan to build a new town center in Weltevreden. The base of the church can be seen in Wayang Museum.

In 1644, Governor General Antonio van Diemen built a chapel in the Castle at his own expense. Already in 1633, a simple wooden church with straw roof had been built for services in Malay. The Portuguese Binnenkerk (Portuguese Church inside the city walls) was built between 1669 and 1672, initially for Malay services, but was also to meet the needs of the Portuguese-speaking Christians. Another Portuguese-language church was built outside the city walls in 1695, the Portuguese Buitenkerk, now Gereja Sion, the oldest surviving church building in Indonesia.

In 18 May 1696, a former VOC officer Cornelis Chastelein bought the land with an area of 12.44 km2, 6.2% the area of today's Depok, there he established the first of its kind in Java, a Protestant congregation consisting of native Indonesians which was named: De Eerste Protestante Organisatie van Christenen (DEPOC). A Protestant church dating back to 1714 can still be seen standing and its church bell was built in the year 1675.[8]

Dutch East Indies and Post-independent Indonesia

In 1799 VOC went officially bankrupt and were dissolved in 1800 with its possessions taken over by the Dutch crown as the Dutch East Indies. Later in 1817, the Dutch government founded the Protestantsche Kerk in Nederlandsch-Indie ("Indische Kerk") as a union of Reformed, Lutheran, Baptists, Arminian and Mennonite denominations.[9] During the 18th to 19th century the new architectural trend are Neoclassical architecture, examples of these Renaissance architecture were Batavia's Immanuel Church, Semarang's Blenduk Church and GKJ Mojowarno.

Missionary activities increased with territorial gain and works were mostly aimed to convert native Animist population such as the Bataks, Torajans, Minahasans, Papuans and Dayaks population (whom today formed Christian majority of both Catholic and Protestant). These missionaries established many mission churches, schools and institutions across the country.

Later in late 19th until the end of the Dutch rule in 1942, Indonesia followed the Neogothic architecture that was common in Europe at that time.[10] The best example of neogothic architecture built in Indonesia are Jakarta Cathedral. Art Deco and its various Dutch architectural branches such as Amsterdam School or Nieuwe Zakelijkheid, became the new fashion of the Indies during these period. Few of the fine example of these architectural influence on churches are Bandung's Bethel church, Jakarta's St Joseph's Church, Semarang's Cathedral and Zion Church of Tomohon.

Apart from Art Deco as a form of modernism, there are also attempt by many Dutch architect to modernize the indigenous architecture by creating a synthesized form of architecture which combine western architecture with indigenous Indonesian elements.[11] In 1936, Henri Maclaine Pont designed the Pohsarang Church in Kediri which incorporates Hindu-Buddhist elements into a Western building.[11] This legacy lived on even after independence of Indonesia and is applied to various public buildings, including churches in the country. In 1972 native Balinese I Wayan Mastra, became head of the Balinese Protestant church, and began a process of Balinization. When Blimbingsari church, a basic stone and wood building was destroyed by earthquake in 1976, it was rebuilt in more Balinese pendopo style, with a garden with running water, traditional Balinese entrance and a semi-open aspect. A similar trend occurred in other islands, such as: Batak Karo architecture of to St. Francis Asisi's Church in Berastagi, and Ganjuran Church which used Javanese Joglo architecture.

Many Indonesian Protestants tend to congregate based more on ethnicity than liturgical differences. As a result after the independence of Indonesia the Protestant Church of Indonesia was broke down into various denomination based on ethnicity, resulting relatively higher number of Protestant denomination per-capita in the country. The reason for this are also due to the cultural and languages preference among each of the different ethnic group in Indonesia.[12]

Today

Although Protestantism and Catholicism is two of the 6 recognized religion in Indonesia, prosecution against Christian are common in the country, many of the conflict are linked to the extremist groups in the country. In the year 1999 Maluku sectarian conflict occurred, a religious and ethnic based violence which claimed many life of both Muslims and Christians. During this event the historic church of Immanuel church in Hila was destroyed, however Immanuel Church was later rebuilt with the help of the Muslims community. Although the event in Ambon have largely calmed, another church was set on fire in 2011, forcing the people inside to flee.[13]

In December 2011, GKI Taman Yasmin, had been sealed. Local authorities refused to lift a ban on the activities of the church, despite an order from the Supreme Court of Indonesia.[14] Local authorities have persecuted the Christian church for four years. In 2013 another church in Bekasi was forced to shut down due to the lack official permit for building the premise.[15] While the state has ordered religious toleration, it has not enforced these order to protect religious minority in the country.[16] 3 churches was burned and damaged in Temanggung, Central Java in 2011 as Christians were accused of distributing pamphlet that were "insulting" Islam.[17]

In Aceh where Sharia law is applied it is against Governor Regulation No. 25/2007 about Guidelines for the Construction of Houses of Worship. In the regulations, the construction of a church in Aceh requires 150 congregations to apply for church construction permit.[18] Indonesia is also notorious for its church bombing by extremist in the Christmas Eve of 2000.

While the Batunese congregations show distinctly Lutheran traits, especially in liturgical matters, the sense of communion is determined by ethno-cultural relations. Similar language and customary law, and especially family links between Nias and the Batu Islands, by far outweigh ecclesiastical tradition.
