Dutch Fort

Kota Belanda

Ruins of a brick-and-stone fort built in 1670 by the Dutch East India Company to monopolise Perak's tin trade. Admission is free.

The Dutch built this fort in 1670 to monopolise Perak's tin trade and to guard against pirates. It was captured by local warriors, rebuilt in 1743, and abandoned soon afterwards. Only parts of the red brick and stone walls remain. After restoration it opened as a historic site, free to visit, with a short information board nearby. It lies in Teluk Gedong village on the island's southeast coast, about 10 minutes by bus from Pangkor Jetty, and can be visited along with the nearby Tiger Rock.
