#favouriteitinerary The Old Court House in Kuching, Sarawak, is a historical colonial-era building that once served as Sarawak’s administrative and judicial center. Built in 1871 during the Brooke dynasty, it is one of the most well-preserved heritage sites in the city. Key Features of the Old Court House: ✔Historical Architecture – A blend of British colonial and local Sarawakian design, with grand pillars, wooden beams, and open courtyards. ✔The Round Tower – A unique structure originally intended as a fort but later used as an administrative office. ✔Pavilion Building – Once the medical headquarters, now part of the heritage complex. ✔Courtyard and Café – The site now houses cafés, restaurants, and event spaces, making it a popular spot for dining and gatherings. Today, the Old Court House serves as a cultural hub, art gallery, and event space, hosting exhibitions, performances, and community events. It is located near the Kuching Waterfront, making it an easy stop for visitors exploring the city.

#travellerswonderland This heritage building is so picturesque, photoshoots for graduations or weddings are often done here. Being the literal court house in past times, it now comprises of lush gardens with lovely cafes such as Commons & Roots and a Tourist information Centre. 🌊Directly opposite is the Sarawak River and Jambatan Darul Hana. Glad the old and historical buildings are well maintained & preserved.

#wheretogo #malaysia #kuching It was a pleasure to discover the Commons by Food Journal Group on my last day in Kuching. It’s a cafe and restaurant located within the the Old Court House. For someone who loves history, this place was perfect, it had a contemporary style mixed with old world charm. The Old Court House was commissioned by Charles Brook in 1868 and completed in 1874. It remained the administrative centre for Sarawak until 1973. At Commons, you can have a relaxing lunch, enjoy a cool ice lemon tea or a fine meal set within a stylish restaurant furnished with an eclectic mix of vintage furniture. I highly recommend the Pan Seared Seabass (RM38), freshly caught, simply seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked to perfection with a light crisp. The Avocado and Grilled Corn Salad (RM 28) tossed with quinoa, fresh leaves, mango and ricotta was exquisite. I will certainly try out the other dishes the next time. They offer a delightful selection of cakes too. This is a must visit cafe if you are in Kuching The Old Court House Jalan Tun Abang Haji Openg Kuching, 93000 Kuching Sarawak, Malaysia #wheretogo#kuching #foodlovers
