Here are two conceptual photos I took at the abandoned Manuk-Manukan Church, on one of the peaks of Menoreh Hill Range in Borobudur Subdistrict, Magelang, Central Java. You’ve got to love the location.

And this is what the church looks like…
Manuk is Javanese for bird. Manuk-manukan means something that looks like a bird, so you can also use the word to refer to Superman.

In order to get there, you will need to go west from Borobudur Temple — that’s all the way west — and up the Menoreh Hill Range. As there are no signs, asking around on which path to take to get to this church might be your best bet.
please be warned that it’s a long climb

gereja katolik apa kristen…baru tahu kalo ada gereja ini di magelang…
katolik. karena di bagian bawah ada bilik2 gua seperti di gereja2 katolik kuno.
Minggu depan mau mencoba mencari tempat ini… Doakan saya hehe…

kalo orang Borobudur kenalnya Bukit Rhema, dusun Gombong, desa Kembanglimus, Kec. Borobudur.
bagus foto2nya.
terima kasih, efenerr. ya, rencananya memang begitu, tapi sampai sekarang gedungnya belum selesai dibangun, bahkan terlantar.
oh iya, aku salah soal gereja kristen atau katolik ya. aku kira gereja katolik karena ada bilik2 mirip bilik2 gereja kuno. mungkin itu bilik2 utk rehabilitasinya ya. kan dia pusat rehabilitasi narkoba dan cacat mental juga,
