Fort Margherita

Fort Margherita watches over the Sarawak River from a colonial riverside fort built for Ranee Margaret during the Brooke "White Rajah" era. Today it houses museum galleries that bring Brooke-era Sarawak history to life through displays, architecture and river views. Cross by boat or approach from the Kuching waterfront side to climb ramparts, peer through embrasures and imagine steamers on the river below. Expect a compact heritage visit that pairs well with the old town—story-rich, photogenic and rooted in Sarawak's unique kingdom past.
