Iconic landmark in Melaka

#malaccaguide

The Stadthuys in Melaka is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, standing proudly in Dutch Square with its striking red walls and historic charm. Built in 1650 as the official residence of the Dutch governors and officers, it is considered the oldest surviving Dutch building in the East. Today, the Stadthuys houses the History and Ethnography Museum, showcasing Melaka’s colonial past, cultural traditions, and artifacts. Visitors can explore galleries filled with maps, costumes, and historical displays while admiring the building’s unique Dutch architecture. Surrounded by Christ Church and a lively square, the Stadthuys is a must-see heritage treasure.
