Banjarese architecture

While houses dating back to the sultanate of Banjar are rare, the traditional style of architecture of the Banjar people has been adopted by modern architects in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.[1] The most well-known style is the bubungan tinggi, which were originally houses with high, ridged roofs and were occupied by royalty, nobility, and state officials.[1]

Examples of traditional Banjarese religious structures include Candi Laras, Candi Agung, and Masjid Sultan Suriansyah.
