Baileo is a custom house,[1] in Maluku and North Maluku, Indonesia.[2] The term is derived from the word bale or balai, which is a word for a village meeting place.[3] The house is a representation of the Baileo Maluku culture and has an important function in the life of the community[2] that is why the structure forms part of the identity of any community in the Moluccas. There are instances where the baileo serves as a mosque or church[4] or adjacent to one.[5] This is the case when the house serves as a repository for sacred objects[1] and a place of traditional ceremonies[1] in addition to its function as a place for community meetings.[4]
The baileo, which is present in every Moluccan village, is usually a village landmark with its open architecture.[5] It also has a large size and unique appearance when compared to other buildings in its vicinity.[6][7] It is traditionally built from local materials such as planked timber, cement, stone or brick with wood shingle, and thatch or zinc roof.[3]
Recent interest in baileo emerged within the recent revival process in parts of Indonesia that seeks to reestablish traditional institutions and symbols.[8]
