STADTHUYS
The Stadthuys was the residence of the Dutch and then British Governors General of Malacca. Built between 1641 and 1660 on the ruins of the Portuguese fort, the establishment saw the city's various governments come and go for 300 years. Converted into a museum in 1982, it is the oldest Dutch building east of Suez. Today, it houses the Museum of Ethnography and History and traces life in Malacca from the Sultanate to the British occupation. Weapons, paintings, porcelain, jewelry and costumes bear witness to these eras.
