1600s by a Chinese Kapitan (chiefs/headmen of the ethnic community) during

was constructed in the 1650s as the residence of Dutch Governor and his deputy.
Today it being use as the "Museum of History and Ethnography" where

its days of glory. Christ Church which is known as the red Dutch reformed
church is situated at the end of the end of the main square near the Stadhuys.
The pink bricks were brought from Holland and plastered with local red laterite

handmade pews are originals dating back over 200 years. The beautiful monument
