Demon Cave or Cave Seluman? That's one mystery in the guesthouse that remains mysterious despite its name is more often called the Cave Demon. Visit and enjoy the historic sites that have a tunnel under the road asphalt.The Mysterious Cave Demon Pesanggrahan.
Not many know Pesanggrahan Cave Demon. Understandably, the rest house built by Hamengkubuwono II this is not as famous as the Taman Sari Water Castle. But, behind the unpopularity, this guesthouse was never an important function for the sultan's palace, as a place of meditation. Together Pesanggrahan Warungboto, this place is called in one macapat song is about the progress achieved during the second lane in Yogyakarta.
Cave Demon guesthouse located in the region Wonocatur, Sleman, precisely on the road that connects the Eastern Ring Road with the Berbah Yogyakarta, Bantul. You who wish to visit to get through the intersection Road Blocks to Jackie O, then turn right. After finding signposts towards Berbah, you just turn left. Pinggi guesthouse located right path, characterized by a high wall thickness of 75 cm which color has begun to darken.
Guesthouse area covers an area of ​​right and left of the road. Maybe a little surprising, but it's true. Are there parts of the building which was interrupted by the presence of the road? Apparently not. YogYES confirm it by looking at the building on the left of the road which is the entrance gate of this guesthouse. The door was continuous with the hall toward the building area located on the right path. That is, the hallway that connects the complex on the right and left of the road in just under highway to Berbah it.
In building the gate, we found the bird Rate reliefs at the top. The unique shape can still be seen clearly even though some parts have been damaged by age. While at the bottom of the door, there are some stairs that connect with the outside hallway. When you go deeper into, will be found again a door-shaped upper arch, may serve as a marker had entered the hall.
YogYES actually wanted to down the aisle, but we revert and prefer crossing the road. Next, we went down the buildings located on the right road and menemunkan a square-shaped door. The door is a copy of the hallway that connects the right and left of the road. Unlike the north door is decorated with reliefs of birds Rate, the south door is simple, without any decoration.
Through the south entrance was, could YogYES another peek at the guest house. There is a building that extends to the east, directly continuous with the hall. The building is divided into several rooms, each of which is also connected by a door. Not far from the door to the room that connects the east, there is a bulkhead is beautifully decorated with ornaments similar motif batik cloth. Meanwhile, in the easternmost room itself there is a rectangular pond which is still filled with water.
Like many of the guesthouse in the early days of Kraton Yogyakarta, Cave Demon also has a garden area and pool. Currently, in the garden area is planted various ornamental plants so that this area looks green. Ornamental plants that grow on the edge of two ponds rectangle that is also part of the building pesanggrahan. The edge of the pond and the second base is actually made of plaster which is pretty good, but unfortunately can not be seen because the water is not so clear.
Around to the southwest side, there is one pool of water in the form of a circle. The pool was decorated with a statue of a bird with a beak Give prominent. It's very unique, especially because of its beak also functions as a water fountain. Similar pool was also found in the southeast, but the statue was damaged and began to pent-ground pool.
Until now, among a variety of activities besides Kraton meditation conducted in Pesanggrahan Cave Demon can not be answered, including anyone who has ever meditated in this place. Another thing that remains a mystery is the name of the building itself. Macapat song that contains the name of the new building, said building is Seluman Cave, but the signs are there in the complex of buildings is now the name of the building Demon Cave. Is Seluman and Demon means the same?
In the past, many people consider this building haunted so no one could enter it carelessly. But now there was no assumption that because some people even use this area for a place to chat guesthouse. So, you can visit one of these historic sites without fear.
