Administratively, Pangkalan Bun is a sub district, and
capital of the West Kotawaringin district. The bustling
little town was once the seat of power of the Kutaringin
Sultanate in the reign of Sultan Imanudin reign in 1811-
1814. The legacy of the sultanate can be found at the
Keraton Kuning or Yellow Palace, in the heart of
Pangkala Bun. The palace itself is reconstruced, since
the original site was burnt down in 1986. Historically, the
Kutaringin Sultanate was once a district of the Banjar
Kingdom which emerged as a separate sultanate during
the reign of Sultan Banjar IV Mustainbillah. The
Sultanate came under the rule of Javanese Majapahit
Kingdom, and therefore traces of Javanese culture are
found abundant in the area.
