The Stadhuys & Christ Church In Historical Malacca

Stadhuys Building : Constructed in 1650 as the residence of the Dutch Governor and his deputy, the structure reflects Dutch architecture. It is today the "Museum of History and Ethnography". The  museum exhibits traditional wedding clothes and artifacts of Melaka, dating back to its days of glory.

 

Christ Church: Constructed in 1753, the structure reflects original Dutch architecture. The building houses hand-crafted church benches, jointless ceiling skylights, a  copper replica of the  Bible, a headstone written in the Armenian language, and a replica of " The Last Supper".

Thanks Jorma. If you like our culture, I am sure you'd like our food if you ever come our way. We have one special cuisine here thats called the Nyonya Cuisine that includes the Chinese, Malay, Thai and Indian influences.

Thank you Loes and Daniel. Malacca was once a Dutch colony for almost 150 years.
