Located on the site of the Stromberg Bastion of the old Dutch fort, the bungalow fuses beautifully into the circular structure of the bastion. Planned way back in 1667, it is Indo-European in style, sporting a tiled roof and a typical first floor verandah in wood running along its front.

Today it has been converted into a museum of Kerala History by the Government of Kerala
