Sorotan & Pengalaman

From Fort to Brooke Gallery

Built in 1879 by the second White Rajah, Charles Brooke, and named for Ranee Margaret, the fort guarded the river approach to Kuching with cannon and musket loops. From 1971 it served as a police museum; after restoration with the Brooke Trust it reopened on 2016-09-24 as the Brooke Gallery, telling the full Rajah dynasty story in three floors of exhibits.

Best View over the River

The ramparts give one of the best vantage points over the Sarawak river and the State Legislative Assembly dome across the water. Combine with the Astana view and a tambang crossing from the Waterfront for a half-day Brooke-history circuit.

Cara Menuju

Across the river from Kuching Waterfront — reachable by tambang boat or ~10 min drive via Jalan Istana into Petra Jaya.
