Muliakarta palace is the Palace of the Sultanate or Sultanate Tanjungpura Matan, the oldest sultanate located in the province of West Kalimantan. Named Muliakarta palace as the palace is located in the administrative region Muliakarta village. In addition, the palace is also known as the Palace Panembahan Saunan Gusti Muhammad, taken from the name of a famous sultan with authority and wit.
Muliakarta palace was first built by the prince who holds a Prime Minister Haji Muhammad Sabran, the 14th sultan of the Sultanate Tanjungpura, who reigned from 1845 until 1924. However, the palace is constantly undergoing renovations and reconstruction several times, so that it becomes as it looks now. Panembahan Saunan Gusti Muhammad (1908-1944), sultan to-16, is the palace of the sultan who revolutionized large scale. Panembahan Saunan replace Muliakarta palace architecture with European architectural style since he never studies in the Netherlands and lived long enough in the State Windmills.
The existence of the Palace Muliakarta certainly can not be separated from the long history of the Sultanate Tanjungpura ever moved from one area to another. As a result, the Sultanate Palace Tanjungpura was scattered in different parts of West Kalimantan. Besides Muliakarta, imperial palace is also present in Sukadana, Tanjungpura, Matan, and Indralaya. However, only a small proportion of these palaces are still intact and can be seen to this day.
