【Malaysia】The Stadthuys

The Stadthuys, located on the bank of the Malacca River in the old town of Malacca, Malaysia, was built by the Dutch around 1641 to 1660, making it the oldest Dutch building in Southeast Asia. During the Dutch colonial period in Malacca, it served as the residence of the Dutch Governor. In 1824, when Malacca became a 'Crown Colony' of Britain, the site was also used as the seat of the colonial government. In 1979, the Stadthuys was converted into the Malacca Museum. As you stroll along the Malacca River, the 'Stadthuys' with its red walls and white windows, and its vivid colors, is definitely a place worth visiting. The Stadthuys
