Fort San Domingo

Attraction stories

Fort San Domingo (淡水紅毛城), located in Tamsui, was once called ""Hong Mao Chen"" by the local Han Chinese residents due to its association with the Dutch. Later, the British refurbished the fort as a consulate office, transforming it into a unique blend of military and diplomatic purposes. The two-story red brick building exhibits typical British colonial architecture with a touch of Chinese elements, offering a glimpse into the life of a consul. In addition to the fort, the former British Consular Residence, built in the late 19th century, now serves as a museum showcasing the consulate's history. Visitors can also enjoy a panoramic view of Guanyin Mountain and the Tamsui River from the lookout, especially at sunset.

Please note that Fort San Domingo (淡水紅毛城) is closed on the first Monday of the month (or the following working day if Monday is a public holiday), Chinese New Year’s Eve, and Chinese New Year’s Day, as well as other specific days announced separately.
