Fort Margherita
Completed in 1879, Fort Margherita commands a breathtaking and strategic position along the Sarawak River, with a location chosen to overlook the long stretch of river approaching Kuching. Named after the second Rajah Charles Brooke's wife Ranee Margaret, it was built in the defensive edifice/castle style of the late English renaissance.
Today, inside the great castle-like building is a police museum, the most interesting sights of which are the depictions of criminal punishment.
