Batavia Castle (Dutch: Kasteel Batavia, Indonesian: Kastel Batavia) was a fort located at the mouth of Ciliwung River in Jakarta. Batavia Castle was the administrative center of Dutch East India Company (VOC) in Asia.[1]
Batavia Castle was also the residence of the Governor General, the highest VOC official in the Dutch East Indies who chaired the Council of the Indies, the executive committee that made decisions in the Dutch East Indies. Batavia Castle was demolished in 1809 by Governor General Herman Willem Daendels.[1][2]
