Kisar is culturally and geographically closer to Timor than to the rest of Maluku. Not surprisingly, it has a real Timorese feel to it, with villages scattered in the dry, scrubby interior, rather than along the coast.
Sights are limited to a very few colonial buildings, of which this ruined church is the most impressive.
The island is also noted for producing some of the finest ikat weavings in all Indonesia.
The best of these are made by the people of Oirata village, which also has a few unusual, traditional-style houses left.
