But it's not only for historical sentiment. The building has a tower, which offers a majestic view of Bandung from four directions,and a Museum displaying old photos of the construction of the Building, historical items, Dining room of the then Colonial Administration, and it's popular Coffee Terrace.
We recently enjoyed the sensation of being atop the Gedung Sate building during a visit. as we entered Gedung Sate, we approached the security post to get an entry permit and fill in the guest book. We were accompanied by a special guide at the building to tour the facility, climbing to the tower at the fourth floor of the building via a lift which has a capacity of six persons. There is an alternative wooden stairs to reach the tower which has an exhibition room for historical materials.
