The fort is an important landmark and monument in Sarawak's history which goes back to the Brooke Dynasty.[1] The fort, built in the style of an English castle, was designed to protect Kuching from being attacked by pirates.[3][4][5] It served as a Police Museum from 1971 before being handed over to the Sarawak state government and now is a tourist attraction in Kuching. The fort now houses the Brooke Gallery, an exhibition showcasing the history of Sarawak under the Brooke Dynasty.[4][6] It is situated across the Sarawak River near The Astana, the official residence of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Sarawak and is accessible by road. It is a 15-minute drive along Petra Jaya, or a short river cruise from Pangkalan Batu, in front of Main Bazaar on Kuching Waterfront and located next to the New Sarawak State Legislative Assembly Building.[7] It is part of the Kuching Heritage Trail.[8] HistoryFort Margherita is named after Brooke's beloved wife, Margaret Alice Lili de Windt,[9] whom he married at Highworth, Wiltshire on 28 October 1869; she was raised to the title of Ranee of Sarawak with the style of Her Highness upon their marriage.[5] The fort was built on a hill overlooking the Sarawak River and situated on the north bank opposite the then fast expanding town centre of Kuching. The fort was well equipped to protect the capital from river-borne invasions.[5] FeaturesThe three-storey tower block's battlement includes a watchpoint on top, a courtyard surrounded by a high wall with sharp glass shards inlaid for protection, and set into the wall itself are wooden windows from where the cannons were fired. Executions of prisoners were carried out in this courtyard, right up to the Japanese occupation during World War II.[1] The Brooke GalleryIn 2016, The Brooke Gallery, which showcases belongings from the Brooke family and artefacts during their time as the White Rajahs was opened.[2][4] The gallery is a collaboration between the State Museum Department, Tourism Cultural and Heritage Sarawak and the Brooke Trust.[2][6] The opening of the gallery received support from volunteers from Sarawak, the United Kingdom and Australia.[10] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.newsarawaktribune.com.my/news/fort-margherita-sarawaks-bastion-of-protection/|title=Fort Margherita – Sarawak’s Bastion of Protection|author=James Alexander Ritchie|publisher=New Sarawak Tribune|date=28 December 2018|accessdate=26 February 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226092341/https://www.newsarawaktribune.com.my/news/fort-margherita-sarawaks-bastion-of-protection/|archivedate=26 February 2019|deadurl=yes}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2016/09/25/brooke-gallery-opens-at-fort-margherita/|title=Brooke Gallery opens at Fort Margherita|author=Saiful Bahari|publisher=The Borneo Post|date=25 September 2016|accessdate=26 February 2019|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20190226101025/http://www.theborneopost.com/2016/09/25/brooke-gallery-opens-at-fort-margherita/|archivedate=26 February 2019|deadurl=yes}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://asiancorrespondent.com/2012/08/kuchings-colonial-heritage/|title=Kuching’s colonial heritage|author=Graham Land|publisher=Asian Correspondent|year=2018|accessdate=26 February 2019|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20190226100558/https://asiancorrespondent.com/2012/08/kuchings-colonial-heritage/|archivedate=26 February 2019|deadurl=yes}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://sarawaktourism.com/attraction/fort-margherita/|title=Fort Margherita|publisher=Sarawak Tourism|accessdate=26 February 2019|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20190226102225/https://sarawaktourism.com/attraction/fort-margherita/|archivedate=26 February 2019|deadurl=yes}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://theculturetrip.com/asia/malaysia/articles/the-almost-romantic-tale-of-kuchings-fort-margherita/|title=The (Almost) Romantic Tale of Kuching's Fort Margherita|author=Sam Bedford|publisher=Culture Trip|date=9 June 2018|accessdate=26 February 2019}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2016/09/28/brooke-gallery-a-permanent-storytelling-exhibition/|title=Brooke Gallery a permanent storytelling exhibition|author=Sharon Ling|publisher=The Star|date=28 September 2016|accessdate=26 February 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/community/2017/07/06/walkway-for-fort-margherita-state-to-provide-better-accessiblity-to-draw-more-visitors-to-historical/|title=Walkway for Fort Margherita|author=Geryl Ogilvy|publisher=The Star|date=6 July 2017|accessdate=26 February 2019}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://sarawaktourism.com/attraction/old-kuching-heritage-trail/|title=Old Kuching Heritage Trail|publisher=Sarawak Tourism|accessdate=26 February 2019|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190226082251/https://sarawaktourism.com/attraction/old-kuching-heritage-trail/|archivedate=26 February 2019|deadurl=yes}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/@mcwong/the-ranee-queen-exhibition-by-brooke-gallery-kuching-old-courthouse-d8ab43cf09da|title=The Ranee (Queen) Exhibition by Brooke Gallery — Kuching Old Courthouse|author=MC Wong|publisher=Medium|date=1 October 2018|accessdate=26 February 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.brooketrust.org/volunteer|title=Volunteer|publisher=Brooke Trust|accessdate=27 February 2019}} External links{{commons category-inline|Fort Margherita}}{{Malaysian colonial architecture}}{{Malaysian historical architectures and sites}}{{Kingdom of Sarawak}} 6 : Buildings and structures in Kuching|Forts in Malaysia|Royal residences in Malaysia|Monuments and memorials in Malaysia|Tourist attractions in Kuching|1879 establishments in Sarawak |
