Palembang Mayoral Office

The Palembang Mayoral Office, also known as Kantor Ledeng, is an office building in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, which is used as the seat of the municipal government of the city.

[1][3] After the proclamation of Indonesian independence in August 1945, large crowds led by nationalists such as Adnan Kapau Gani took over the building from the Japanese administrators, flying the Indonesian flag on 25 August.

[4] After the end of the Indonesian National Revolution, the building was used by the municipal government as the city hall until 1956, and since 1963 it was used as the mayor's office.

It was constructed at a cost of reportedly one ton of gold, following the De Stijl style of architecture commonly found in other colonial government buildings in Indonesia, resulting in a cubical building shape and a flat rooftop.

The façade of the building featured six cement pillars, with andesite walls and three doors.
