Immanuel Church, Jakarta

Immanuel Church is a striking round Protestant church near Jakarta's Gambir station, completed in 1839 in a strict Neoclassical style with a domed roof and a portico of tall columns. Commissioned during the Dutch colonial period and named after the reigning king, it was designed to serve the European congregation of Batavia. The circular sanctuary, unusual among the city's churches, is lit by high windows and centred on a historic pipe organ. Its clean white form near the presidential palace is among the capital's finest colonial religious.
