Fort Alice, Historical fort in Sri Aman, Malaysia

Fort Alice stands on a hilltop with a rectangular structure featuring thick defensive walls, cannons, an open courtyard, and a prominent lookout tower.

Built in 1864 during the Brooke dynasty, the structure was initially named Simanggang Fort and later renamed after Margaret Alice Lili de Windt.

The fort incorporates local traditions through an evening gong ritual performed by policemen, communicating time signals in the Iban language.

The Sri Aman Heritage Museum at Fort Alice operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM, with modified hours during weekends.

The building served multiple functions throughout its existence, housing a courthouse, treasury, hospital, and shipping office within its fortified walls.
