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.
Its most famous feature is a British cannonball, fired during a 1804 bombardment, still embedded in the south-west wall.

It is a short walk from the hotel.
