About this place

The Dutch Trading Post was a trading base established by the Dutch East India Company. The Netherlands founded the East India Company in 1602 aiming at colonial management in Asia and a monopoly on trade in Asia. To gain an advantage in competition with Portugal, the Dutch set up trading posts in various parts of Asia.
