Fort Willem II, Dutch colonial fort in Ungaran, Indonesia

The fort features four bastions and thick stone walls encasing a two-story building overlooking both entrances of the structure.

Built in 1786 by Dutch authorities, Fort Willem II controlled trade routes between Semarang and Yogyakarta during the colonial period in Central Java.

The fort holds connections to Prince Diponegoro, who was imprisoned there in 1830 before his transfer to Batavia for trial.

The structure currently functions as residential quarters for Indonesian police personnel and their families near the Semarang-Surakarta road.

Originally named Fort de Ontmoeting, the structure marked a meeting point between Pakubuwono II and Governor-General van Imhoff in 1746.
