A Journey Through Decades

Established in 1939, Triwindu has witnessed over seven decades of history. Its name, meaning “eight years tripled,” commemorates the 24th anniversary of the enthronement of KGPAA Mangkunegara VII. From humble beginnings as a marketplace for everyday goods, Triwindu transformed into a hub for antiques during the Japanese occupation.
