The Stadthuys

The Stadthuys are located within the walls of Melaka fort and lie opposite the north entrance to the fortified town, across the river. The fort itself covers a large area around the hill St. Paul, who houses the offices and warehouses of the VOC and all the facilities needed by the colony. The fort wall no longer existed today thanks to the malicious British vicious and vandalism directed destruction while protecting Dutch possessions in Asia from France, during the Napoleonic Wars. The Stadthuys is a massive complex. The interior of the building has two floors and it is 30 meters wide. In addition to being governor's house, Stadthuys also includes a Child-Secretary-General, a prayer room, a dining room, a guest house, slavery house, House of Merchants, prisons, trade offices, warehouses, courtyards and bakeries separately or separately. The spacious record room at Stadthuys is perfectly suited for the preservation of official documents, though the tropical climate is often a source of rapid decline in paper. With large thick wall meters, high ceilings and large floor tiles, it provides a cool interior atmosphere and seems to have a dry-cell effect. The building now houses the Museum of History and Ethnography, Admiral Cheng Ho Gallery, Literary Museum, Museum of the Democratic Government, and State-of-the-art Museum. Daily museum displays are traditional wedding dresses and artifacts from Melaka's golden age.
