O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Nizozemska kolonialna cerkev, ki jo je zgradil poveljnik Casparus de Jong, je bila dokončana leta 1755, njena tla pa so v celoti tlakovana z nagrobnimi ploščami s starega nizozemskega pokopališča. Obokani strop z zapletenimi lesenimi tramovi drži skupaj že več kot 260 let brez enega samega žeblja, z uporabo le lesenih klinov in spojev.
Poudarki: Ko vstopite, poglejte pod noge: celotna tla so sestavljanka iz več stoletij starih nizozemskih nagrobnikov, vsak izrezljan z lobanjami, peščenimi urami in družinskimi grbi, ki delujejo hkrati mračno in lepo. Nad vami so ogromni teakovi tramovi iz 18. stoletja, ki držijo streho skupaj, spojeni le z lesenimi klini, preživeli monsune in stoletja slanega zraka brez enega samega kovinskega pritrdila.
Notranji nasveti
- Visit right after a tropical rain shower when the stone floor gleams and reflections double the visual drama of the tombstones.
- Look for the pulpit's intricate inlaid wood panels depicting biblical scenes, they're easy to walk right past.
- Skip midday (11 AM-2 PM) when the church is dim and the heat makes the interior stuffy.
- The organ pipes on the upper gallery are original from 1760 and still occasionally played during Sunday services.
