Pejabat Pos Besar Kuching - Kuching, Sarawak

Crumpled N.

The Old Post Office Building (Pejabat Pos Besar Kuching) is a charming colonial-era landmark that adds a touch of history to Kuching’s waterfront. Built in the 1930s, this elegant structure features classic British colonial architecture—think arched windows, whitewashed walls, and a grand facade that stands out against the modern cityscape.

While it no longer functions as an active post office, the building remains an important heritage site and is part of the Sarawak Tourism Complex. Its prime location near the Kuching Waterfront makes it a convenient stop for tourists exploring the area. The surrounding gardens and well-preserved exterior make it a great spot for photos, especially in the golden hours of sunrise or sunset.

Inside, the building houses a tourism information center and a small exhibition space, though the interior is fairly basic compared to the striking exterior. Visitors hoping for a museum-like experience might be slightly disappointed, as there isn’t much to see beyond a few displays. However, the historical significance and architectural beauty still make it worth a quick visit.

The lack of detailed signage or guided information about the building’s history is a missed opportunity, leaving curious travelers to rely on external sources for context. Still, its photogenic charm and central location ensure it remains a notable landmark in Kuching.

If you’re strolling along the waterfront, take a moment to admire the Old Post Office Building—it’s a quiet yet beautiful reminder of Kuching’s colonial heritage. While it may not be a major attraction on its own, history and architecture lovers will appreciate its timeless appeal.

位于敦哈吉欧平路的大邮政局是另一个古晋国际化建筑风格混合的最佳例子之一。建于1931年，它的风格属于19世纪初的新古典主义风格及克林斯站座。

Visited here without any need to do any postal or payment services. Was just visiting to see the beautiful architecture of the old building. There are different pillar styles around the building which intrigues me. Possibly from different build eras. A good place for photography too. Could not review the services inside though.

My unwanted experience is that i have to wait for more than 25 minits for a 30 ringgit postal money order. The person in front of me is buying more than usual. Believe me, no kidding.
My ghostly experience...bad service by post malaysia counter staff as i have wait longer than usual by unusual customer. No more post malaysia for me. Hahha...lapar ini.
