The Gedung Agung (English: The Great Building; Javanese: ꦒꦼꦝꦺꦴꦁꦄꦒꦼꦁ, romanized: Gedhong Ageng) is one of seven presidential palaces of Indonesia, it is located in the city of Yogyakarta.

[1] It was initially built in 1824 on an estate owned by the 18th Dutch resident of Yogyakarta, Anthonie Hendriks Smissaert.

The construction of the building was delayed by the ongoing Java War, a rebellion led by Prince Diponegoro and was only completed in 1832.

During the struggle for Independence, the capital city of Jakarta was occupied by Allied forces and the government was moved to Yogyakarta on 6 January 1946.
