Go-Down Mini Amphitheatre
This open space mini-amphitheatre has a seating capacity for approximately 200 persons. The amphitheatre is regularly used for cultural performances, talent shows, product launchings, singing competitions, colouring contests and many more activities.
The frame of the amphitheatre was originally part of a godown built in 1929.
The Sarawak Steamship Building
The Sarawak Steamship Building was previously the office and warehouse of the Sarawak Steamship Company and its predecessor, the Sarawak and Singapore Steamship Company, which helped build Sarawak’s infrastructure and encourage trade since 1875. Today, this building located along the Kuching Waterfront is now the home of the Kuching Waterfront Bazaar and is used as an ice cream shop, with adjacent retail and display spaces housing dozens of stalls selling a wide range of handicrafts and souvenirs.
Square Tower
The tower has been standing since its completion in 1879. It was built next to the first ever prison of Kuching and was designed to secure the detention center. The lime wash paint finishing has suffered over the past years and has slightly affected the structure of the wall. Nevertheless, it still is a great sight to behold; a great destination to just spend about an hour or so. When Brooke needed a dancing hall, the tower was utilized during the weekends. Many believed that the ground floor of the tower was used as a jail cell for criminals.
Brooke Memorial
The Brooke Memorial, situated in front of the old court house in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, was commissioned in memory of Charles Brooke, the second Rajah of Sarawak, who ruled Sarawak from 1868 to 1917.
Kuching Old Courthouse
After Charles Brooke was proclaimed as the Rajah of Sarawak in 1868, he was looking for a better venue for the administrative center of the government of Sarawak. The construction of the courthouse building started in 1868 and completed in 1874, which was then officiated by William Henry Rodway. In 1883, a clock tower was added to the building at the entrance area. In 1924, the memorial for Charles Brooke was constructed at the building entrance square. It was used as the administrative center for the government of Sarawak until 1973. In 2003, the building was converted into the Sarawak Tourism Complex.
The Round Tower
The Round Tower was constructed in 1886 as a fort but was never used for military purposes. Up until 1947 it was used as a public dispensary serving the adjoining hospital (today the Textile Museum Sarawak). Later, it was occupied by the Labour Department and then by the judiciary as a court registry. In 2004, it was it was used by the Sarawak Craft Council who displayed handicrafts, and around 2000 it was converted into a cafe and restaurant.
Textile Museum Sarawak
The building was built in 1907 as a Medical Centre and later served as the Office of the Department of Education and was made the Sarawak Textile Museum in August 2000.
The museum houses and exhibits local textiles and clothing woven and worn by Sarawakians. Among them are Pua Kumbu from the Iban community and Kain Songket Melayu Sarawak.
General Post Office
The Main Post Office on Jalan Tun Haji Openg is another good example of Kuching's cosmopolitan architectural mix. Built in 1931, it appears to belong to the early 19th century with its neo-classical style and Corinthian columns, and is the only building in Sarawak with these features. Deep parapet walls hide the pitched roof while the colonnaded portico serves as a corridor, while the rear of the building is simple and austere. This magnificent building has been in continuous use as the General Post Office since its completion.
Chinese History Museum
The building was built in 1912 and is located at the Kuching Waterfront. Originally, it was used as a court by the Chinese community until 1921. After that, the building was taken over by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
In 1993, this historic building was transformed into the Chinese History Museum. Currently, the museum serves as a source of information on the history of various Chinese communities.
