Not many know Pesanggrahan Cave Beast. Understandably, the building that was constructed by this second lane is not as famous as the Taman Sari Water Palace. But, behind its unpopularity, this rest house was once an important function for the sultan's palace, as a place to be imprisoned. Together Pesanggrahan Warungboto, this place is called in one song macapat which tells about the progress achieved during the reign Hamengkubuwono II in Yogyakarta.
Demon Cave Guesthouse is situated in the territory Wonocatur, Sleman, precisely on the road that connects the Eastern Ring Road areas Berbah Yogyakarta, Bantul. You want to get past visiting Janti Highway until intersection Block O, then turn right. After finding signposts toward Berbah, you just turn left. Pinggi Guesthouse is located right on the street, characterized by a high wall thickness of 75 cm in the colors have started to go black.
Pesanggrahan Area covers an area of right and left of the road. Perhaps a bit surprising, but it's true. Are there parts of the building which was interrupted by the existence of the road? Apparently not. YogYES sure to see the building on the left road which is the entrance gate pesanggrahan. The door was continuous with the hall to the building area located on the right road. That is, the hallway that connects the complex on the right and left of the road are just below the highway toward Berbah it.
On the building's gate, we found bird Give relief at the top. The unique shape can still be seen clearly even though some parts are damaged due to age. While at the bottom of the door, there are some stairs that connect the outside of the aisle. When you go deeper into, will be found again a door-shaped arch-top, might serve as a marker had entered the hall.
actually want to browse the aisle, but we revert and prefer crossing the road. Next, we descended the building located on the right road and menemunkan a square-shaped door. The door was a carbon copy of the hallway that connects the right and left side of the road. Unlike the north entrance is decorated with reliefs of birds Give, south door is simple, without decoration whatever.
Through the south door of that, get a peek at the rest house to another. There is a building that extends to the east, directly continuous with the hallway. The building is divided into several rooms, each of which is also associated with a door. Not far from the door that connects to the most eastern room, there is a screen decorated with beautiful 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 rest house in the early days of Yogyakarta Palace, Cave Demon also has a garden area and pool. Currently, in the garden area is planted a variety of ornamental plants, so this area looks green. Ornamental plants that grow on the edge of two rectangular pool is also part of the pesanggrahan. Edges and the second base pool is actually made of plaster that is good enough, but unfortunately can not be seen because the water is not so clear.
Wandering into the southwest side, there is one pool of water more circular. The pool was decorated with statues of birds Give with a prominent beak. The shape is very unique, especially because the beak also functions as a water fountain. Swimming in fact there are also similar in the southeast, but the statue was damaged and began to pent-ground pool.
Until now, a variety of activities besides the Kingdom meditation conducted in Pesanggrahan Cave Beast can not unanswered, including anyone who has ever meditated in this place. Another thing that is still a mystery is the name of the building itself. Macapat song that includes the establishment of this building to say the name of the building is Seluman Cave, but the existing signage on the building complex is now the name of the building Beast Cave. Is Seluman and the Beast means the same?
In the past, many people consider this building was haunted, so no random people can enter. But now the assumption that there was no reason some people even use the rest house area for a place to chat. So, you can visit one of these historic sites without fear.
