The Dutch Influence

Indonesia was under Dutch rule for about 500 years and their influence is widely seen.  It wasn't until the 1940s that they were forced out of the country during Japan's occupation of Indonesia.  We visited a Catholic Church built in 1811 by the Dutch.  The interior was destroyed in 1945 but it was rebuilt in 1950.  Beautiful old building...
