Bastion Bungalow

Bastion Bungalow is located at River Road in Fort Kochi. It was build in Indo-European style in 1667 and gets its name from its location on the site of the Stromberg Bastion of the old Dutch fort.

The building blends beautifully into the circular structure of the bastion, has a tiled roof and a typical first floor verandah in wood along its front portion

After Independence, it was turned into the residence of sub-divisional officers and in 2000 was handed over to the archaeology department. In between, it came into the limelight when it was part of the Ivory Merchant film ‘Cotton Mary’

It is located at the end of Church Road in Fort Kochi and it has been declared a protected monument by the State Archaeology Department.. Though it has been said that a network of secret tunnels runs beneath the bungalow, none have been found.
