Fort Zeelandia, Fort in Anping District, Tainan, Taiwan

Fort Zeelandia is a stone and brick fortress complex in Anping District, Taiwan. The site includes an inner keep with three levels and an outer zone once used for residence and trade purposes.

The Dutch East India Company built the fortress between 1624 and 1634 to secure maritime trade routes in the region. In 1662 the garrison surrendered the site after a nine-month siege to the Ming loyalist general Koxinga.

The fort was renamed Zeelandia in 1626 after the Dutch province of Zeeland, replacing the earlier name Fort Oranje. The site is also known as Anping Old Fort, and its name in Chinese recalls the Zheng family's use of the fortress as a royal residence. Visitors can see the brick walls and the 1975 lookout tower.

The fortress sits in Anping District and is accessible by public transport or bicycle from Tainan Station. On-site stairs and ramps lead to the different levels, allowing visitors to gain an overview of the grounds.

The building materials for the fortress came partly from Java, where bricks were made and shipped across to Taiwan. Traces of artillery fire from the 1662 siege remain visible on some wall sections.
