Once Krapyak region, which is now in the south of Yogyakarta Palace, once a dense forest. Various species of wild animals found here, one deer or in Javanese called deer. No wonder when this region was widely used as a hunting ground by the Kings of Mataram.
Who bear the title Raden Mas Jolang Hanyokrowati King, the second king of the Kingdom of Mataram Islam and son Panembahan Senopati, is one of the king who utilize Krapyak Forest as a place to hunt. In 1613, he had an accident in the hunt and eventually died here. He was buried in Kotagede and given the title Panembahan Krapyak Seda (mean king who died at Forest Krapyak).
Another king who likes to hunt in the Forest Krapyak was Prince Mangkubumi (lane I). He was the one who founded the Stage Krapyak more than 140 years after the death of King Hanyokrowati in this forest.

If interested, you can come with a drive to the south of the South Square, past the Plengkung Ivory and Jalan DI Panjaitan. Krapyak stage will be found after driving about 3 miles, located right in the middle of the road.
Building Stage Krapyak rectangular area of 17.6 mx 15 m. The walls are made of red brick covered with cement cast and arranged upward as high as 10 m. Wall sections now appear black, indicating the age of almost equal age of Yogyakarta, a quarter millennium. The building appears to be still strong, although some parts were damaged by the earthquake on 27 May 2006.
The architecture is quite unique stage. Each side of the building has a door and two windows. Doors and windows it just be a hole, without a cover. The bottom of the door and the window is square but the top curved, like the design of doors and windows in the mosque-masijd.
The building stage is divided into two floors. The first floor has 4 rooms and a short hallway that connects the door from each side. When the sun shines bright, the light will penetrate into the first floor of the building through doors and windows.

If to one room in the southeast and southwest of the building and look up, you can see a hole wide enough. From the hole that the kings who wanted to hunt heading into the second floor (which is useful as a hunting ground) with the help of a wooden ladder now could not be found anymore. By looking up too, you can know that there is a roof to shade the hole that now has collapsed, may be useful to prevent water entry.
At first glance, this building illustrates the comfort obtained by the king, even when hunting. The height of buildings to make the king hunting with a sense of comfort and safety, free spy without worrying attacked by wild animals when hunting. Second floor of this place was quite comfortable, in the form of ample open space and bordered by a fence with a height being perforated.
The height of this building is causing some people suspect that the Stage Krapyak also used as a defense post. Perhaps, from this place the enemy movement from the south can be monitored so that it can provide early warning to the Sultan's Palace in case of attack. The soldiers were alternately assigned to guard in this place, as well as practicing hunting and sporting kanuragan (ability to fight).
