Fort Duurstede is a 17th-century colonial Dutch fort in Saparua, Indonesia[1][2] The fort originally protected Saparoea village. A navigation guide from 1878 advises: "There is good anchorage near this fort in the westerly monsoon in about 12 fathoms."[3]
The fort is open to the public and has been heavily restored.[1]
