Once a fortress defending Paramaribo, then a prison, museum and military installation, Fort Zeelandia now is a museum again where you can get a good idea of the history of this former colony.
Much later, in 1967, the fort was restored and turned into the Surinam Museum, but in 1982 Bouterses soldiers entered the fort to live in it. It was again used as a prison, holding political adversaries, among them lawyers, journalists and trade union leaders, of Bouterse; 15 of them were executed on the courtyard of Fort Zeelandia during the so-called December murders. Only in 1995 Fort Zeelandia was reestablished as a museum, and renovated again in 2004. From the outside, the fort looks like a charming Dutch-style building, and nothing reminds the visitor of the sometimes bloody history of this place.
