Fort Church & Museum
The Fort Church, built in 1769 inside Fort Amsterdam, is among the oldest churches on the island and keeps a small museum of the Protestant congregation's history. 4 min from the hotel
Its most famous feature is a British cannonball, fired during a 1804 bombardment, still embedded in the south-west wall. The simple, dignified interior and the little museum of silver and documents make a quiet ten-minute stop while exploring the fort. It is a short walk from the hotel.
