On February 27, 2007, Istano Basa suffered fire from lightning that striked the top of the palace[1]. As a result, the three-level building burned down, including some documents, and decorative textile[2]. It is estimated that only about 15 percent of valuables are saved. Items that saved from the fire are stored in the Archeological Hall of Tanah Datar Regency. The inheritance treasure of Pagaruyung kingdom itself is stored in Silinduang Bulan Istano, 2 kilometers from Istano Basa[3]. Meanwhile, the cost of rebuilding the palace is estimated more than Rp. 20 billion[4].
