Constructed in 1650, it is one of the oldest surviving Dutch buildings in the East and served as the official residence of the Dutch governors and their officers. The structure is notable for its distinct Dutch architectural style, characterized by its red exterior, large windows, and louvered doors. Today, the Stadthuys houses the Museum of History and Ethnography, offering visitors a glimpse into Malacca's rich history and cultural heritage.
