Step Inside Indonesia's Chicken Church | Atlas Obscura

[@laksmanaalam1226]

This building became popular not because of the internet but this building became popular because it was used as a filming location for one of the big movie franchises in Indonesia.

[@selfmademusic206]

which movie is that?

[@radityanathanielnugroho4549]

@@selfmademusic206 i think its.. AADC (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta)... the title basically means what's with love in Indonesian

[@selengatip2188]

But I only knew about it through the internet, never know about the movie

[@JBond-zf4dj]

If you watch Indonesian movies. Most of the western world would've found out via the internet.

[@fearlessandfar]

Indonesia is full of strange and amazing things. The walking dead festival too 💀

[@tamaiantama]

You should visit Sendangsono, not far from Chicken Church, where first generation of Javanese Catholics are baptized there and Christianty blends with local culture. You should also visit Ganjuran Catholic Church in Yogyakarta (a neighboring city). There, we can see a church with unique Javanese architecture including some elements being influenced by Majapahit Empire's architecture.

In my personal opinion, Indonesia is like a maze and puzzle game. Where tourists who visit are players and Indonesia is the place to play. Visiting Indonesia is actually not just for a vacation, but for adventure and exploring. Because in Indonesia there are so many categories that tourists can choose according to their wishes. Be it nature, entertainment venues, museums, shopping centers, culture, food, drinks, and more. Not only that, in 1 city in Indonesia there are lots of tourist attractions that tourists can choose for themselves, even tourist attractions with different nuances (That's only in 1 city, not including all of Indonesia). Then you will be able to find a lot of diversity, uniqueness, weirdness and other things in Indonesia according to the way of each traveler and their respective memories. So my judgment (Personal opinion) : Indonesia is a place for adventure and exploration, not just a place for vacation. We tourists to Indonesia are players in the maze. Every city in Indonesia has different characteristics and too many categories. This is what is called an adventure game. Indonesia is perfect for tourists who are much more adventurous, discover the unique, know the great diversity, explore different natures and challenges. Full of magic. Thank you.

I just randomly went there yesterday, when I met a British guy who told me about the church while I was standing on a line to purchase tickets for a near by temple.

[@Cordeliaceps]

My dream building has always been a temple to Bast. Built in an ancient Egyptian meets the future style it would be filled with art and sculptures, but its primary function would be to serve as a charity veterinary hospital. All animals would be welcome and public events that feature music and dance would help raise charity funds for the temple.

[@RusselSprouts1]

Dylan’s back! And the place is cool! AO forever!

[@therealpixie]

I'd love to build an "om dome" -- a beaten copper sphere where the echos would reverberate perfectly from the walls back to the person sat oming in the center.

[@jbrooksci]

wow! that's grand. I'd like to sit in it.

Thanks for the concise and accurate information about this! Great video

[@fakyu9346]

So there's this very iconic 2002 Indonesian Movie called Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? / AADC? (What's wrong with Cinta?). It was very popular not only in Indonesia, but also Malay speaking countries of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei After 14 years of waiting, in 2016 AADC? 2 finally came out. IT WAS A VERY BIG DEAL, everyone's talkin about it. In AADC? 2, there's a scene where the main characters watch the sunrise on top of the chruch. Maybe that's why this church is so famous. I also know this chicken church fron the movie

[@astrobois2883]

Wow.. I'm Indonesian, but I've only just found out about that.. gereja ayam

Plot twist:- it was an Alien spaceship that landed, Daniel is the last Chicken man

[@WPGMADMAN]

Now I’m not the type to normally say this. But that was beautiful!

[@divalea]

You humanize Daniel’s vision, you note that Daniel said it wasn’t a chicken, but you keep on calling it “the chicken church.” Why?

[@JBond-zf4dj]

Because that's what it's now known as. And Chicken Church flows way better than Dove Church.

[@deborahkogan8742]

Great! Thank you!

[@ChalcedonyKid79]

Damnit iFunny.. how you keep luring me into these places on KZbin

This is an IRL Zelda Temple. You have to take a giant chicken boss to succeed.

Colonel Sanders keeps the seven herbs and spices here guarded by the giant chicken

I'm Indonesian and I don't even know this existed lmao

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

🤔Hmmmm.... My crazy dream project would be to build a huge tree house library. I'm talking 2+ acres in a forest somewhere beautiful.

At the beginning the screen graphic says Dylan Thuras, co-founder. And you 'assume' that everyone will know that he is the co-founder of Atlas Obscura?

[@gertie2454]

Well he could be the 'co-founder' of Indonesia's Chicken Church..

does Atlas Obscura have or need a patreon?

I thought they did, but I can't find it. I'd support that

[@dthuras]

@@m_drunk We don't but picking up a copy of one of our books or attending an event (or if you are going big time) taking a trip with us are all really wonderful ways of supporting it! Also just thank you to the both of you for thinking in this way!!)
