A well-known Acehnese woman who became the leader of the war against all forms of colonization in Aceh at that time.
The traces of srikandi from Tanah Rencong are still to be seen in the heritage house as memories and historical evidence for future generations.
Address at Lampisang Village, Peukan Bada, Aceh Besar District.
The house that was built in 1893 is a grant from the Dutch side at that time.
Giving is not without reason.
The husband of Cut Nyak, Teuku Umar set the war strategy by defecting to the occupiers to master the Dutch strategy and their combat equipment.
Not long lived, three years after the house was built burned by the Dutch because the invaders found Teuku Umar defiant and re-lead the war against them in every battleground.
At the initiative of the Government of Aceh, Rumah Cut Nyak Dhien was rebuilt in 1987 by displaying various manuscripts from the Dutch Museum of the Netherlands.
As is customary traditional house of Aceh, Cut Nyak Dhien house shaped house of stage consisting of three main room in it.
The third room is the front porch for the men, the middle porch for the family room, and the back porch for women.
The difference other than as a residence, Cut Nyak Dhien house also serves as the base of war warriors of Aceh at that time. So functionally the house is divided into two parts and separated by a larger size than the house of Aceh in general.
Nevertheless it retains the distinctive features of traditional houses attached to it.
The yellow roses that symbolize the king of Aceh ruled almost every home tool. From behind the display cabinet, traditional weapon-like blades and rencong are drawn. Furniture with Jepara carvings perched in every corner of the house.
The house is built exactly the same as the original form, except the well and the foundations are still original because they do not burn.
The house is located in an area of 2200 meters is now a tourist attraction of local and foreign tourists. Most of the arriving guests are taken by travel agents and come from Malaysian tourists.
Srikandi Aceh has long gone, but its spirit still lives from time to time.
