History :
Talk about this place, this place has a great history that covers it.
This place, Ujung Water Palace known as Taman Sukasada Ujung was built by the king of Karangasem
I Gusti Bagus Jelantik, who had the title Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut Karangasem. Initialy this garden
was a pond used as a disposal site for those with black magic. However, in 1909 the king of
Karangasem had ordered his two Dutch architects (van de hentz and the chinese architect Loto Ang) to
develop this place into a resting place for the king and the royal family.
As well as being a place to meditate and entertain royal guests. Not only that, the conctruction also
involved architects from Bali (undagi = Balinese traditional architect) especially from the karangasem
kingdom. Finally, all the processes of both conctruction and renovation were completed in 1921. In

Latin and Balinese script and two languages, Malay and Balinese.
