Candi Sukuh
About Candi Sukuh
Candi Sukuh is located nearly 1000 meters up the slopes of the holy mountain of Gunung Lawu. It was built towards the end of the Majapahit kingdom in the 15th century and is noted for its unique design. It is a Hindu temple that also has Buddhist and animist design elements, as well as a stepped pyramid that has been called Mayan in appearance.
The art at Candi Sukuh is superb, including outstanding bas reliefs, giant turtle altars, and carvings of animals. Its location on the mountain slopes means that mists roll in, giving the place an excellent atmosphere. It is also relatively untouristed due to its more remote location.
