Kota Lukut, Military ruins in Lukut, Malaysia

The fortress stands on Bukit Mati hill and contains mud walls made of laterite stone surrounded by moats measuring five meters in depth.

Raja Jumaat built this strategic fort in 1847 to maintain control over the tin trading operations in the region of Negeri Sembilan.

The museum at the base displays artifacts from the tin mining period and documents the matrilineal customs of the local Malay community.

The site combines preserved fortification ruins with a modern museum that opened in 1999, offering four exhibition areas about local history.

The museum collection includes remnants of the Dutch warship Nassau that sank during the Battle of Cape Rachado in 1606.
