Crossing the Malacca River Bridge to the east bank of the river, you will be greeted by a neat square with a red clock tower and a Victorian fountain.

Facing the square is the old Red House, which is the oldest building preserved by the Dutch in the East. The Stadthuys have thick red brick walls, heavy hardwood doors, and wide stone steps in front of them. Museum Introduction The larger of the 6 museums is the History and Ethnology Museum. The main antiques are related to the past Malacca Dynasty.
