Discovering Jakarta’s Oldest Temple

Tucked away in the heart of Jakarta, Klenteng Kim Tek Le (Jin De Yuan) is a testament to the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Built in 1650 by Lieutenant Kwee Hoen, this temple has withstood the test of time, surviving the tragic Angke massacre during the Dutch colonial era.

Fast forward to 1755, Captain Oie Tjhie undertook the restoration of this cultural gem, renaming it Kim Tek Le, which translates to the Temple of Golden Virtue. The name symbolizes a call for humanity to prioritize virtues over materialism, a reminder that resonates even today.

Located at Jl. Kemenangan III No. 13 (Petak 9) Glodok, West Jakarta, the temple houses invaluable artifacts that date back to its inception. Intricately carved Buddha statues, both large and small, adorn the temple, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Jakarta’s Chinese community.
