Courthouse - Kralendijk, Bonaire - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

Fort Oranje is a small fort located in the center of Kralendijk. It was built in 1639 on behalf of the West India Company. Until 1837, the fort served as a defense but never saw action. It has four English cannons that date between 1808 and 1812.

For many years, police and firefighters used Fort Oranje. The police now have their own building and firefighters have moved elsewhere. The building has been used as a government center and warehouse for government goods and as a prison. The fort building was restored in 1999, and is now the courthouse.
