Salah satu kerajaan yang pernah berdiri dan berkuasa di Pulau Sumatera adalah Kerajaan Siak Sri Indrapura. Kebesaran kerajaan ini dapat dilihat dari Istana Siak Sri Indrapura yang masih berdiri hingga saat ini. Istana Siak Sri Indrapura berlokasi di Sri Indrapura, Kp. Dalam, Kabupaten Siak, Riau. Istana ini memiliki nama lain yaitu Istana Asserayyah Hasyimiah atau Istana Matahari Timur. Saat ini, Istana Siak Sri Indrapura sudah berstatus sebagai cagar budaya yang ditetapkan pada tanggal 3 Maret 2004.

Kerajaan Siak Sri Indrapura didirikan pada tahun 1723 M oleh Raja Kecik yang bergelar Sultan Abdul Jalil Rahmat Syah putera Raja Johor (Sultan Mahmud Syah) dengan istrinya Encik Pong, dengan pusat kerajaan berada di Buantan. Konon nama Siak berasal dari nama sejenis tumbuh-tumbuhan yaitu siak-siak yang banyak terdapat di situ. Sebelum kerajaan Siak berdiri, daerah Siak berada dibawah kekuasaan Johor. Yang memerintah dan mengawasi daerah ini adalah raja yang ditunjuk dan diangkat oleh Sultan Johor. Namun hampir 100 tahun daerah ini tidak ada yang memerintah. Daerah ini diawasi oleh Syahbandar yang ditunjuk untuk memungut cukai hasil hutan dan hasil laut.

Pada awal tahun 1699 Sultan Kerajaan Johor bergelar Sultan Mahmud Syah II mangkat dibunuh Magat Sri Rama, istrinya yang bernama Encik Pong pada waktu itu sedang hamil dilarikan ke Singapura, terus ke Jambi. Dalam perjalanan itu lahirlah Raja Kecik dan kemudian dibesarkan di Kerajaan Pagaruyung Minangkabau. Sementara itu pucuk pimpinan Kerajaan Johor diduduki oleh Datuk Bendahara tun Habib yang bergelar Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Syah.

Setelah Raja Kecik dewasa, pada tahun 1717 Raja Kecik berhasil merebut tahta Johor. Tetapi tahun 1722 Kerajaan Johor tersebut direbut kembali oleh Tengku Sulaiman ipar Raja Kecik yang merupakan putera Sultan Abdul Jalil Riayat Syah. Dalam merebut Kerajaan Johor ini, Tengku Sulaiman dibantu oleh beberapa bangsawan Bugis. Terjadilah perang saudara yang mengakibatkan kerugian yang cukup besar pada kedua belah pihak, maka akhirnya masing-masing pihak mengundurkan diri. Pihak Johor mengundurkan diri ke Pahang, dan Raja Kecik mengundurkan diri ke Bintan dan seterusnya mendirikan negeri baru di pinggir Sungai Buantan (anak Sungai Siak). Demikianlah awal berdirinya kerajaan Siak di Buantan. Namun, pusat Kerajaan Siak tidak menetap di Buantan.

Pusat kerajaan kemudian selalu berpindah-pindah dari kota Buantan pindah ke Mempura, pindah kemudian ke Senapelan Pekanbaru dan kembali lagi ke Mempura. Semasa pemerintahan Sultan Ismail dengan Sultan Assyaidis Syarif Ismail Jalil Jalaluddin (1827-1864) pusat Kerajaan Siak dipindahkan ke kota Siak Sri Indrapura dan akhirnya menetap disana sampai akhirnya masa pemerintahan Sultan Siak terakhir.

Pada masa Sultan ke-11 yaitu Sultan Assayaidis Syarief Hasyim Abdul Jalil Syaifuddin yang memerintah pada tahun 1889-1908, dibangunlah istana yang megah terletak di kota Siak dan istana ini diberi nama Istana Asseraiyah Hasyimiah yang dibangun pada tahun 1889. Pada masa pemerintahan Sultan Syarif Hasyim ini Siak mengalami kemajuan terutama dibidang ekonomi. Dan masa itu pula beliau berkesempatan melawat ke Eropa yaitu Jerman dan Belanda.

Setelah wafat, beliau digantikan oleh putranya yang masih kecil dan sedang bersekolah di Batavia yaitu Tengku Sulung Syarif Kasim dan baru pada tahun 1915 beliau ditabalkan sebagai Sultan Siak ke-12 dengan gelar Assayaidis Syarif Kasim Abdul Jalil Syaifuddin dan terakhir terkenal dengan nama Sultan Syarif Kasim Tsani (Sultan Syarif Kasim II). Bersamaan dengan diproklamirkannya Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia, beliau pun mengibarkan bendera merah putih di Istana Siak dan tak lama kemudian beliau berangkat ke Jawa menemui Bung Karno dan menyatakan bergabung dengan Republik Indonesia sambil menyerahkan Mahkota Kerajaan serta uang sebesar Sepuluh Ribu Gulden. Dan sejak itu beliau meninggalkan Siak dan bermukim di Jakarta.Baru pada tahun 1960 kembali ke Siak dan mangkat di Rumbai pada tahun 1968.

Beliau tidak meninggalkan keturunan baik dari Permaisuri Pertama Tengku Agung...

Hidden gem in Riau, such a well-maintained museum with a lot of wonderful collections and such an entertaining tour guide we've ever had.

Siak kingdom was a very wealthy royal and the Sultans were highly educated in Europe & were in good relation with the Dutch empire queen. The architecture and collections themselves are very enjoyable to look at, mostly when the young and bright local guide called Akbar was storytelling with the history. A perfect match, both entertaining and educating.

The entrance fee is only 10k for adults and 5k for children.

The small town is very clean and tidy in extreme level, the atreets are very wide and the urban arrangement is well-planned for future development. New development to attract tourists are coming along the big river such as skywalk - bridge with glass, some heritage spots such as Datuk Pesisir House, Dutch Tangsi, all very well-preserved. They provide wooden boat to travel along the river in a very reasonable price of 15k per person. Such a great experience.

Walking in this town reminds me of historical town of Penang, all in good cleanliness and local pride spirit. I believe Siak will be a new travel destination in Riau. Salute to the local government with his great vision...

Visited the most heritage palace in Sumatra, Istana Asserayah El Hasyimiah in Siak Sri Indrapura, Riau. You can buy the ticket on the opposite right outside Siak Sri Indrapura Palace.

As we know before, there are no significant changes in this palace, but I am happy because I got new knowledge from the guides who was very informative and active in accompanying visitors.

In addition, I highlight the condition of the outside of the palace which is currently being renovated into a pedestrian area.

This is a sign of attention from the local government, because if public vehicles continue to pass, then the maintenance of the palace will require more effort.

With special facilities only for pedestrian areas, the palace will be better maintained, beautiful and comfortable for residents and...

The palace has been turn into a museum. A great collection of artefacts and stuff that once belonged to the Sultan of Riau are displayed here. The Riau Sultanate has a close ties with the empire of Johor lama in Malaysia. It is a most underated tourist attraction and should be given more exposure. The palace is well maintained and very tidy, done in the most professional way. Most residence of Siak today are of Malay origin, thus they share very similar dialects with the people of Malaysia. A great piece of history of The Riau Sultanate province. Must visit. Admission ticket is nominal, even for foreigners like 7s idr25,000.
