The Stadhuys is known for its red exterior and clock tower near the traffic circle in its vicinity.
The Stadthuys ( an old Dutch spelling, literally meaning " town hall" ), also known as the Red Square is the most imposing relic of the Dutch rule in Melaka. It features salmon red walls,heavy wooden doors and wrought-iron hinges.Once the official residence of the Dutch governors and their officers, it now houses the Museum of History and Ethnography. The Stadthuys was built in 1645 and is believed to be the oldest Dutch building in the East. Next to it is Christ Church, a Dutch Reformed Church that was constructed in 1753.
