Dutch Fort
"
Built in the 1600s, this 330-year-old stone foundation of a Dutch Fort was one of the Dutch strongholds against pirates and local Malays."
Located at Teluk Gedung village, south of Pulau Pangkor, the 330-year-old stone foundation of a Dutch Fort built in 1670 remains one of the Dutch strongholds against pirates and local Malays. Actually, during the Dutch occupation in the 17th century, tin supplies from Pangkor and the mainland were stored in this fort.
As time passed by, the locals who were unhappy with the treatment of the Dutch destroyed the fort sometime in 1690. This is not the end because the Dutch then returned in full force to rebuild the fort. Following that 60 soldiers were commissioned to protect the fort until 1743, when it was finally abandoned after a local warrior, Panglima Kulub, and his followers attacked it.
Later in 1973, the National Museum undertook its reconstruction to restore as much as possible the remains of the fort and retain its historical significance and heritage.
