There are a lot of strong historical sources there, one of them is about the origins of the building. The building at there is very phenomenal and incredible so you will regret when you leave Jogjakarta without stayed at Taman sari Water Castle.

Yore, this castle was the second residence for the Jogjakarta kings.The King often deliberately stayed at this castle to meet his "dayang ". In java, dayang is usually defined as " ladies-in-waiting " . The king had a lot of Dayang and they always spent their time to bath together and always wanted to make the king be happy. Beside of that, The king also used this castle to welcome his friend from the other kingdom.

There are some magnificent castle surrounded by the old architecture. Most tourists often visit there to take photographs and capture the old fort. The fort was made up of various rooms, including a shower room, pool, an ascetic place, the king's baths, king bedroom and also there is a special place for the ladies there.
