Have anybody heard or seen a prestigious buliding like this before?
This the world’s only surviving Building constructed by Dutch East India Company in the world.
This 350 year olf bungalow once reflected the might of Dutch Empire with offices and imperial residences of Dutch Army Commanders
This large bungalow was one of the places, where one of the greatest Botanical record Hortus Malabaricus were prepared.
Know this place?
Friends, I am not telling about any structure in Netherlands or Holland. This 350 year old historical monument lies in the heart of Kerala’s own little Lisbon- The Fort Kochi, which was once the jewel of Dutch Imperial Crown
Friends- may I introduce David Hall, a living lost monument and legacy of Dutch history forgotten in pages of History, revived now to its back erstwhile glory and prestige.
Today the property belongs to Government of Netherlands maintained thro’ its Overseas agency- CNO, now leased to Cochin‘s own leading hospitality chain- CGH Earth.
Today this large bungalow is a Dutch Centre where regular western performances are performed, a large art gallery, a traditional Dutch cafe and museum showcasing memorabilia that once associated with the Mighty Dutch Empire.
