Dutch Fort, 17th century fort in Pangkor Island, Malaysia
The Dutch Fort features three brick walls with round windows at regular intervals, positioned near the ocean on Pangkor Island.
Initially constructed in 1670 for storing tin supplies from Perak Sultanate, the fort faced destruction in 1690 and reconstruction in 1743.
The fort represented Dutch commercial interests in the Malay Peninsula, serving as a center for mineral trade negotiations with local authorities.
The site includes a surrounding park and souvenir stores, with access provided through maintained pathways for visitors to explore the remains.
A garrison of 60 soldiers maintained the fort until 1748, when its abandonment led to decades of deterioration before reconstruction in 1973.
