[Malacca Travel] European-style architecture in Malacca 🏰 Dutch Red House Square (Queen Victoria Fountain⛲️, Malacca Clock Tower🔔, Christ Church✝️)

The Stadthuys (Red House) is a must-see landmark in Malacca. Built in 1650, it's one of the oldest surviving Dutch colonial buildings in Southeast Asia. Its distinctive red exterior complements the surrounding red clock tower, imbuing the square with an exotic and historic atmosphere. The Stadthuys boasts a quaint architectural style, with thick walls, classic European gables, and arched windows, reminiscent of colonial aesthetics. Once the official residence and office of the Dutch Governor-General, it has now been transformed into a history and ethnology museum, offering a wealth of insights for travelers interested in history and culture. What captivated me most was that this place is truly a "Instagrammable paradise"! In the sunlight, the vibrant red walls shine brightly. Whether standing in front of the Stadthuys, beneath the clock tower, or at the corner of the red staircase, you can capture beautiful photos brimming with artistic and retro charm. Whether you're in Western style or just looking for a camera, this small square, steeped in European charm, will captivate everyone. The Stadthuys is not only a testament to history, but also a fantastic photo spot that blends culture, beauty, and storytelling. Don't miss this stunning red building when visiting Malacca! #Malaysia #Malacca #Stadthuys #AugustDestinations2025
