Tjong A Fie Mansion stands as a grand reminder of Medan’s multicultural heritage and opulent past. Once the home of Tjong A Fie, a Hakka merchant and influential philanthropist in the early 20th century, the mansion reflects his pivotal role in Medan’s development.

As a trusted advisor to the Sultan of Deli, Tjong A Fie bridged communities through business and charity. The mansion’s architecture blends Chinese, Malay, and European styles, showcasing intricate wood carvings, stained glass, and Italian floor tiles that speak to its former luxury.

Now a museum, it offers visitors an intimate look into colonial-era affluence, cultural harmony, and the legacy of a man who shaped a city. With its preserved interiors and rich history, the mansion is a must-see for anyone exploring Medan.
