Istano Basa / Palace Pagaruyung that stands now is actually a replica of the original. Native Istano Basa is located on a hill Batu Patah and burned down in a bloody riot in 1804. The palace was later rebuilt but burned again in 1966.
Pagaruyung Palace rebuilding process is done by laying 'tunggak tuo' (main pillar) on December 27, 1976 by the then Governor of West Sumatra, Harun Zain. The new building footprint is not established in the old palace, but at a new location to the south. In the late 1970s, the palace has been able to be visited by the public.
