In [[Indonesia]], palaces are known as ''[[Istana (disambiguation)|istana]]'' ([[Malay language|Malay]] and [[Indonesian language|Indonesian]]), or ''[[Kraton (Indonesia)|kraton]]'' ([[Javanese language|Javanese]] and [[Sundanese language|Sundanese]]). In [[Bali]] the royal palace compound is called ''puri''. The palaces reflect the long [[Indonesian history|history]] and diverse [[Culture of Indonesia|culture]] of the Indonesian archipelago.<ref name="JP-Palace">{{Cite news|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2018/02/22/hundreds-of-palaces-still-in-existence-in-indonesia.html|title=Hundreds of palaces still in existence in Indonesia|work=The Jakarta Post|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en}}</ref>

Although Indonesia is now a republic, some of its parts and provinces still retain and preserve their traditional royal heritage, for example the Sultanate of [[Yogyakarta Sultanate|Yogyakarta]], [[Surakarta Sunanate|Surakarta]], [[Mangkunegaran]] princedom, [[Keraton Kasepuhan|Kasepuhan]] palace in [[Cirebon Sultanate|Cirebon]], as well as the [[Sultanate of Pontianak]] and [[Kutai]] in [[East Kalimantan]]. Remnants of palaces and royal houses still can be found in [[Banten]], [[Medan]], [[Ternate]], [[Tidore]], [[Bima]], [[Bali]] and [[Sumenep]]. Most of whom are now Museums.<ref name="JP-Palace"/> The layout of traditional Balinese and Javanese ''kratons'' is similar to the Chinese concept of walled compounds of royal pavilions, squares and gardens. Most of these ''kratons'' took the form of wooden pavilions called ''[[pendopo]]'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/indonesia/yogyakarta/attractions/kraton/a/poi-sig/442276/356573|title=Kraton|website=www.lonelyplanet.com|language=en|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref> while the ''istana'' of [[Sumatra]] usually consist of a single large structure. Typical [[Minangkabau people|Minangkabau]] vernacular architecture can be found in [[Pagaruyung Palace]], [[West Sumatra]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2013/11/23/istano-basa-pagaruyung-restored-glory.html|title=Istano Basa Pagaruyung: Restored to glory|work=The Jakarta Post|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en}}</ref> An example of [[Malay Indonesian|Malay]] palace is [[Istana Maimun]] in [[Medan]] and the [[Siak Sri Indrapura Palace]] in [[Siak Sri Indrapura | Siak]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.indonesia.travel/gb/en/trip-ideas/6-instagrammable-landmarks-in-medan|work=Indonesia Travel |title=6 Instagrammable Landmarks in Medan|access-date=2018-09-08}}</ref>

During the [[Dutch East India Company|VOC]] and colonial era of the [[Dutch East Indies]], the colonial government built several European stately palaces as the residence of the governor-general. Most of these European palaces have now become the state palace of the Republic of Indonesia. Indonesian state palaces are the [[neoclassical architecture|neoclassic]] [[Merdeka Palace]] and [[Bogor Palace]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/11/21/jokowi-to-work-from-bogor-palace-in-december.html|title=Jokowi to work from Bogor Palace in December|work=The Jakarta Post|access-date=2018-09-08|language=en}}</ref>
