The Palace
In 1889, the 11th sultan, Syarif Hasyim Abdul Jalil Syarifuddin built a Moorish-style palace 120
kilometres (75 mi) upstream of the Siak river in Pekanbaru. The palace is now a museum.

Before its construction, the sultan made a tour of Europe, visiting the Netherlands and Germany.
In the architecture of the palace there are European influences that blend harmoniously with the
Malay and Moorish elements, with the furniture was even brought from Europe.

The palace contains royal ceremonial objects, such as a gold-plated crown set with diamonds, a
golden throne and personal objects of Sultan Syarif Qasyim and his wife, such as the "Komet", a
multi-centennial musical instrument which is said to have been made only two copies in the
world. Komet still works, and is used to play works by composers such as Beethoven, Mozart
and Strauss.

The foundation of the palace of Siak has its share of myth. It is said that while the Sultan and his
dignitaries were discussing the project, suddenly appeared a white dragon on the surface of the
river Siak. The presence of the dragon was interpreted as a sign of blessing of the project and
auspicious for the greatness of the kingdom. To immortalize the dragon, the Sultan made it the
official emblem of the kingdom. The pillars of the palace were decorated with ornaments in the
form of dragons.

In addition to the palace, the sultan also built a courtroom, the "Balairung Sari" (the flower room).

To the right of the main gate of the Syahabuddin mosque is the royal family cemetery, with its
decoration of Muslim art.
