BANGUNAN UNIK PENINGGALAN BELANDA TAHUN 1800-AN DIPERCAYA ANTI BOM, MASIH ASLI DAN KOKOH HINGGA KINI. Di Kabupaten Blora, Jawa Tengah, masih banyak peninggalan bangunan-bangunan era kolonial Belanda. Salah satunya bangunan rumah di Kompleks Perumahan PPSDM Migas di Kelurahan Ngelo, Kecamatan Cepu. Rumah tersebut dikenal sebagai Loji Klunthung yang dikenal anti peluru dan anti bom.
Loji adalah penamaan tradisional untuk bangunan rumah besar peninggalan era kolonial. Sedangkan penyebutan klunthung karena bentuk bangunan unik tak seperti lainnya. Atap rumahnya melengkung seperti digulung atau diklunthung.
Pada saat itu perusahaan Migas Belanda yang beroperasi di Cepu adalah Dortsche Petroleum Maatschappij (DPM) pada tahun 1886 - 1942. Perusahaan ini banyak mendatangkan orang dari Belanda dan menempati perumahan ini.
Dulu ada 8 loji beratap klunthung tersebut, semuanya berjejer. Setiap loji ada namanya sendiri-sendiri. Namun kini yang masih asli dan belum direnovasi hanya satu Loji yang berada di Jalan Mutiara 2, Kelurahan Ngelo. Bangunan Loji Klunthung ini walaupun tidak ada yang merawat tetapi masih utuh dan berdiri kokoh meskipun usia bangunannya sudah ribuan tahun.
Loji Klunthung dari atap hingga dinding bangunan terbuat dari seng yang didatangkan langsung dari Belanda. Sengnya didesain melengkung hingga setengah lingkaran. Bentuk atap setengah lingkaran tersebut diduga penanda khusus. Pada masa perang dahulu, ada perjanjian bahwa area penghasil minyak tidak boleh rusak atau dibom dari udara.
Loji klunthung itu kan bentuknya setengah lingkaran. Kalau dilihat dari atas atau pesawat menyerupai tanki minyak. Untuk mengkamuflase agar tidak dibom dari udara. Selain itu Loji Klunthung itu digunakan tempat perlindungan warga Belanda saat era perang dulu melawan Jepang.
Setelah era kemerdekaan Loji Klunthung ini bukan aset PPSDM Migas melainkan sudah milik perseorangan. Baiklah pemirsa untuk lebih jelasnya silahkan simak videonya Cekidot Ting Tong. Matur Nuwon.
A UNIQUE BUILDING, HERITAGE FOR THE NETHERLANDS, IN THE 1800S, IT IS BELIEVED TO BE BOMB-PROOF, STILL ORIGINAL AND STURDY TODAY. In Blora Regency, Central Java, there are still many relics of Dutch colonial era buildings. One of them is a house building in the PPSDM Migas Housing Complex in Ngelo Village, Cepu District. The house is known as Loji Klunthung which is known to be bullet proof and bomb proof.
Loji is the traditional name for large houses from the colonial era. Meanwhile, the mention of Klunthung is because the shape of the building is unique, unlike the others. The roof of the house is curved as if rolled or diklunthung.
At that time the Dutch oil and gas company operating in Cepu was Dortsche Petroleum Maatschappij (DPM) in 1886 - 1942. This company brought in many people from the Netherlands and occupied this housing estate.
There used to be 8 lodges with the Klunthung roof, all lined up. Each lodge has its own name. But now, only one Loji is still original and has not been renovated, which is located at Jalan Mutiara 2, Ngelo Village. The Klunthung Loji building, although no one is taking care of it, is still intact and standing strong even though the building is thousands of years old.
Loji Klunthung from the roof to the walls of the building is made of zinc which was imported directly from the Netherlands. The zinc is designed to be curved up to a semicircle. The semicircular shape of the roof is thought to be a special marker. During the war, there was an agreement that oil-producing areas could not be damaged or bombed from the air.
Loji Klunthung is semi-circular in shape. When viewed from above or the plane resembles an oil tank. To camouflage to avoid being bombed from the air. In addition, Loji Klunthung was used as a shelter for Dutch citizens during the war against Japan.
After the independence era Loji Klunthung was not an oil and gas PPSDM asset but was owned by an individual. Alright viewers, for more details, please watch the video Cekidot Ting Tong. Thank you.
