Cut Nyak Dhien House
The house is a replica of the heroine Cut Nyak Dhien House, from
the Aceh War. The colonial forces burned down the house but a replica
was built later. This house in Lam Pisang, about 6 kilometers from
Banda Aceh, now is a museum. The house is located in Lampisang Village,
Lhok Nga subdistrict, Greater Aceh district. Although Lhok Nga was
the area worst hit by tsunami, the Tjut Nyak Dhien House survived.
The daughter of a chieftain, Tjut Nyak Dhien joined the fight against
the Dutch invaders in 1875. Her first husband fell in battle, and
she remarried. When her second husband also died fighting, she continued
the struggle with her children. After six years in the jungle, she
was captured by the Dutch and exiled to West Java where she passed
away in 1906. Tjut Nyak Dhien is recognized as one of the National
Warriors of Indonesia.
