Indonesia’s well known ‘chicken church’, a place of peace and tolerance, has turned 30.

Over the years, the building has been misrepresented and caused much confusion for tourists as the building, which was initially planned to be a dove, was constructed by local people without the assistance of an architect or designer.

Visitor named, Mimiva, told the ABC the chicken church is a place for all official religions in Indonesia and is home to social events, including delivering a rehabilitation program for ex-drug users.
