Discover the dark traces of Indonesian history at Huis Van Behauring Jail, a historic building standing since 1883 on Jalan Pahlawan, Bengkalis, Riau. Also known as "Rumah Orang Rantai" (House of Chained People) or "Jiel Belanda" (Dutch Jail), this prison complex features unique European U-shaped architecture and stands as one of the most significant Dutch colonial relics in East Sumatra. Visitors can witness the remaining 20 prison cells, each equipped only with small windows and no electricity as evidence of the harsh conditions during colonial times. This prison once held up to 40 prisoners in a single cell, including community leaders and kings who opposed colonial rule. Prisoners were often chained by their feet, giving birth to the nickname "House of Chained People". Now after renovation, some rooms have been transformed into garden ponds that enhance the tourist attraction. This historic site offers an educational experience about Indonesia's struggle against colonialism, while serving as a premier tourist destination that combines historical value with the beauty of colonial architecture.
