Fort Zeelandia
Fort Zeelandia and the Court of Policy Building were constructed during the Dutch possession of the region. Fort Zeelandia is a small brick fort that guarded the mouth of the Essequibo River. The Court of Policy housed the legislative body, but also had a church and a room for auctioning slaves. Both structures date from around 1743 and reputedly are the oldest surviving buildings in Guyana.
