About this audio guide
This guide to Immanuel Church in Jakarta, once called Willemskerk, starts with a set of building dates from the eighteen-thirties that do not quite agree with each other. It follows the Dutch colonial officials who abandoned the crowded, sickly old harbour town for open ground to the south, and the king whose name the church carried until nineteen forty-eight. Stand under the dome near the circle of chairs, where a Bätz pipe organ from eighteen forty-three still plays.
