OutstandingThe Dutch billion house in Malacca is definitely a stunning travel destination! The red house was originally the colonial Dutch Governor's Mansion, and the exterior wall was a striking orange color, with the bell tower in the small square and the church marking these historical relics together, becoming a cultural heritage for all mankind. The Dutch Red House is worth a visit.
The Stadthuys attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Dutch Red House is located in the center of Dutch Square. It was built in 1650. It is said that it was originally a church, and was later changed to the city government. It is now the Malacca Museum, which houses historical relics from Malay, Portugal, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Play Guide Today, the museum in the Red House is actually divided into six museums, displaying different historical relics, so it is called "Stadthuys Museums Complex", including the Museum of History and Ethnology (Museum Sejarahdan Etnografi), Art Museum (Museum Sastera), Education Museum (Museum Pendidikan) et al. 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. Like all fountains, there will always be tourists throwing into it. Coins to make a wish. The square is surrounded by red Dutch buildings. 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. You can see a lot of exquisite china, turtle coins, introductions of Prime Ministers of Malaysia in various periods, models of the Dutch town of Malacca, and understand the wedding scenes of locals. Then you can visit the Educational Museum, which is much smaller in size, a miniature one. You can see the museum make miniatures of past classes. I saw the schoolbags, school shoes worn by the students at that time, and the telephones people used at that time. If you have enough time, you can also visit the art museum, which mainly exhibits many oil paintings, depicting the history and living conditions of the Malays. In addition, the Muslim Museum mainly introduces some religious history and culture about Muslims. The back door of the museum is behind the Christ Church. After the tour, you can go directly to the church to visit. In addition, there are small shops lined up along the street at the bottom of the red house, and handicrafts of the same color are richer in colors and styles. If you like, you can buy some as souvenirs.

The Stadthuys Photos: Trip Moments
I gave up on Thailand and visa-free Malaysia—delicious food, fun activities, and safer.💰 Per capita budget reference (5 days 4 nights, 2 adults 1 child) - Budget: 6k-8k (guesthouse + low-cost airline + local snacks) - Comfortable: 10k-15k (5-star hotel + direct flight + private car tour) ✈️ Round-trip tickets often go as low as 2k during big sales! Kuala Lumpur hotels offer great value, 200+ to stay in infinity pool apartments 🏝️ Must-visit spots · Less crowded and beautiful views 1. Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers night view + infinity pool 📍 Stay at The Face Suites, enjoy the 51st-floor sky pool for around 200 per person, perfect for photos with KL Tower 📸⚠️ Tip: Don’t buy tower tickets! The pool view is better, go after 7 PM when the lights turn on 2. Penang · Mural Street + Clan Jetties 🚲 Rent a family bike (15 MYR/hour) to find the "Brother and Sister Riding Bikes" mural, eat charcoal toast at Toong Thye Cafe 🍞🌉 Visit Clan Jetties at dusk to see the sea houses, Chaozhou grandpa opens durian on the spot, eat as much Musang King as you want! 3. Langkawi · Island hopping + Sky Bridge 🦅 Take a speedboat to feed eagles (super thrilling!), walk the glass Sky Bridge, kids scream the whole time 🏖️ Cenang Beach white sand for sand play, sunset looks like an orange sea 🍊 4. Sabah Kota Kinabalu · Mangrove fireflies 🌌 Take a boat deep into Kawa mangroves, proboscis monkeys jump on treetops, at night the riverbank glows green with fireflies, kids exclaim "like a sea of Christmas lights!" 🗺️ Lazy itinerary · 5 days deep exploration Day 1: Kuala Lumpur walking tour Photo at Twin Towers → Eat Hokkien noodles at Petaling Street → Find Peranakan ceramics at Central Market → Late-night snack at Jalan Alor (Huang Ya Wah grilled chicken wings a must-try!) Day 2: Penang artsy day ✈️ 1-hour flight to Penang → Mural Street → Upside Down Museum → Horse riding and wave playing at Batu Ferringhi Beach Day 3: Sabah wild adventure Boat from Kota Kinabalu hotel pier → Snorkeling at Mamutik Island (see clownfish right from shore!) → Sunset at Tanjung Aru Shangri-La, one of the top 3 sunsets 🌅 Day 4: Langkawi island hopping adventure Swim at Pregnant Maiden Island → Feed soaring eagles → Hidden Langkawi firefly boat tour (more exclusive than mangroves!) Day 5: Melaka mixed style Photo at Dutch Red House and Rainbow Street → Blue Tears at Melaka Straits Mosque → Eat Peranakan dishes at Wild Coriander → Night cruise on Melaka River 🍜 Food hits · Kids loved everything 🍖 Kuala Lumpur 👉 Xin Feng Bak Kut Teh: rich herbal broth, free soup refills!

Choose durian stalls that “open and sweeten on the spot,” avoid frozen fruit 💡 Mom’s hard-earned tips 1. Safety tips: ✅ Malaysia is very safe! But avoid walking at night near Kuala Lumpur Central Station, carry your backpack in front ✅ Use Grab for rides (linked to credit card), 50% cheaper than taxis 2. Parent hacks: - Sabah tide pooling: use bread to lure fish into water bottles, kids instantly become "underwater explorers" - Langkawi car rental: a translated driver’s license is enough to drive, stop anywhere around the island (free parking at Cenang Beach) 3. Avoid list: ❌ Genting Highlands: far away + old amusement park, not suitable for kids! ❌ Penang Kek Lok Si Temple: too many stairs, no strollers allowedExpeditionExplorers11

The iconic building's vibrant red facade and ornate architecture were a feast for the eyes. I marveled at the beautifully preserved interior, which now houses the History and Ethnography Museum. The exhibits showcased Malacca's rich cultural heritage, from its Malay and Chinese roots to its European influences.

The Dutch billion house in Malacca is definitely a stunning travel destination! The red house was originally the colonial Dutch Governor's Mansion, and the exterior wall was a striking orange color, with the bell tower in the small square and the church marking these historical relics together, becoming a cultural heritage for all mankind. The Dutch Red House is worth a visit.
Such a lovely place to take a stroll. It is nearby the river and most famous attractions of Melacca. You can also find funny people in costumes here. Highly recommend
It was a trip to Malaysia with family. we visited Stadthuys. We had good time there and really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance there
There are many red houses on the Dutch Square, which are historical buildings. There are many people checking in, and the tour takes about half an hour. Next to it is the Malacca River, and opposite is Jonker Street, also known as Chinatown. There is St. Paul's Church on the back hill, and you can see the Strait of Malacca.
Malaysia has Malacca as our tour group of New Matai. Malacca is the blending place of Malaysian foreign cultures, with the cultural imprints of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and other places. The Dutch Red House is a historical evidence of the invasion of colonial Malaysia by the Dutch in Europe in that year. It is famous for its unique red peripheral bricks and tiles. There are precious historical relics in Britain, Malay, Netherlands, Portugal and other countries.
As a world cultural heritage city, the core landscape building of Malacca is the Dutch Red House. The former Dutch colonial governor's palace has now become the Malacca Museum of History. There are quite a lot of exhibitions and exhibits in it. Moreover, a museum is connected with a museum. You have to leave 2-3 hours to see it carefully. Ten ringgit tickets are obviously very worthwhile.
Malacca, an important maritime transportation route connecting East Asia and Europe, was once a Portuguese colony in history, occupied by Dutch ships, and impressed by the arduous struggle of Chinese people to go to the South China Sea. Malacca is not a big city. Almost all the so-called must-visit scenic spots found in the strategy are concentrated in this area. The Dutch Red House is the most prominent one. Even if you don't visit those museums, it's good to look around the Red Castle and enjoy the shining old buildings.
She is the symbol of Malacca, and she says vividly "If you haven't been here in Malacca, you've basically been there in vain". Red House in Holland, Christian Church in Holland, Bell Tower in Holland and Victoria Fountain all constitute the red square complex in front of us. However, we need to do a science popularization. In the middle of the square, the spire with a cross and three arches is actually a Dutch Christian church. Facing the right hand side of the church, the building in the first picture is the Dutch Red House. It used to be a colony governor's palace, and the reason why it was painted red was because the local people loved to eat betel nut, chewed it and painted it with red spots everywhere. The Dutch had a headache. Fortunately, to solve the problem thoroughly, the whole building was painted red.
