Fort Zeelandia Museum, Tainan, Colonial fortification museum in Anping District, Taiwan.

The Fort Zeelandia Museum occupies a former customs house building from 1882, featuring four exhibition halls dedicated to fortification, reconstruction, official narratives, and historical remnants.

Dutch East India Company constructed Fort Zeelandia between 1624 and 1634, establishing it as a strategic trading post until Ming loyalist Koxinga captured it in 1662.

The museum displays artifacts, documents, and architectural elements that demonstrate the intersection of Dutch colonial influence with local Taiwanese heritage during the 17th century.

Located at 82 Guosheng Road, the museum opens daily from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM with admission fees of NT$70 for adults and NT$35 for reduced tickets.

Researchers utilized 17th-century Dutch engineering documents and Japanese colonial maps to recreate the fort's layout with over 80 percent accuracy.
