The Insana kingdom counted four ruling families, one of them by the name of Taolin. One of the sights to be visited from Kefa is the palace of the Taolin kings. It is located in Oelolok, only a litte sidetrip when one returns from Tamkesi.
In the grounds there are three buildings, all in good repair. The actual palace looks like a Dutch country house. Moreover there are an open lopo with 9 pillars for meetings, and a closed traditonal house where the heirlooms are kept. The door of the latter is beautifully carved.
The location is perfect. Neighbouring Ainut mountain provides water ensuring a lush green environment. Little streams run through the grounds. In colonial times the Dutch resident (government supervisor) lived nearby.
The Taolin family does not live here now, but they gather here when the need arises. There are graves in the adjacent cemetery as recent as 2006.
