Galle Fort, Jaffna Fort, Burgher food and Dutch canals. A guide for Dutch travellers to Sri Lanka, with tips and places to visit.
Walk into the Dutch Reformed Church in Galle Fort and look down. The floor is paved with old gravestones, some carved in Dutch more than 250 years ago, with names, dates and family crests still visible. For travellers from the Netherlands, it is a quiet, moving moment of connection with a shared past.
Few European countries have left such a visible mark on Sri Lanka as the Netherlands. For around 140 years, the Dutch East India Company controlled much of the island's coast. Forts, churches, canals, laws, surnames, words and recipes from that period survive today.
This guide is written for travellers from the Netherlands. It explains the Dutch history of Sri Lanka, where to find its traces, how to combine heritage with nature and beaches, how to plan around Dutch school holidays, what to eat, which customs matter and how to build a journey that is both meaningful and relaxing.
Heritage is the obvious reason. No other long-haul destination offers Dutch travellers such a concentration of their own history in a tropical setting. Visiting the forts and churches built by the VOC gives a new perspective on the Dutch Golden Age and its global reach.
Nature is another. Sri Lanka is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, with rainforest, cloud forest, dry-zone jungle, wetlands and coral reefs, all within a few hours of each other. For Dutch travellers used to flat landscapes, the mountains of the hill country are a special treat.
Value and quality matter too. Sri Lanka offers well-organised private tours, boutique hotels, eco-lodges and family-run guesthouses, so travellers can choose the style that suits them.
Finally, there is the welcome. Sri Lankans are warm, curious and proud of their long history, and many know about the Dutch connection. Do not be surprised if someone in Galle or Colombo tells you that their great-great-grandfather had a Dutch surname.
In the early seventeenth century, the Portuguese controlled most of Sri Lanka's coastal regions. The inland Kingdom of Kandy, which remained independent, wanted to drive them out and sought help from the Dutch.
From the 1630s onwards, the Dutch East India Company, or VOC, allied with the Kandyan king and gradually captured Portuguese strongholds, including Galle in 1640 and Colombo in 1656. By 1658, the Portuguese had been expelled from the island.
Instead of handing the coast back to Kandy, the VOC kept it. For the next 140 years, the Dutch ruled the coastal provinces, while the Kingdom of Kandy continued in the interior. Relations between the two powers alternated between trade, diplomacy and conflict.
The VOC's main interest was cinnamon, which grew wild in the lowland forests and was one of the most valuable spices in Europe. The Dutch later established cinnamon plantations to secure supply. They also traded in elephants, pearls, areca nuts and precious stones.
In 1796, during the wars in Europe, the British took over the Dutch possessions in Sri Lanka. The transfer was confirmed in 1802. The British went on to conquer Kandy in 1815, bringing the whole island under their control until independence in 1948.
The Dutch period left a strong legacy: Roman-Dutch law, which still forms part of Sri Lanka's legal system; fortifications and churches; canals; place names; and the Burgher community, descendants of Dutch and other European settlers.
Galle Fort is the finest example of Dutch colonial architecture in Asia and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Portuguese built the first fortifications, but it was the Dutch who created the massive ramparts, bastions and grid of streets that survive today.
Enter through the Old Gate, where the VOC emblem, with the date 1669, is still carved above the inner archway. On the outer side, the British later added their own coat of arms. Standing here, you can see two colonial chapters layered on the same stone.
Walk along the ramparts to see the bastions, named after celestial bodies and Dutch places: Sun, Moon, Star, Utrecht, Aurora and others. The views across the ocean and the harbour are beautiful, especially at sunset.
The Dutch Reformed Church, built in the mid-eighteenth century, is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Sri Lanka. Its floor is paved with gravestones moved from an old Dutch cemetery. Inside, the organ, the pulpit and memorial plaques recall the families who lived in the fort.
Nearby, the old Dutch warehouse houses the National Maritime Museum. The Dutch Governor's House, the old hospital and many former merchants' houses with thick walls, high ceilings and verandas line the streets.
Galle Fort is still a living town. Families, schools, mosques, temples and churches share its streets. Stay a night inside the walls to experience the fort's quiet evenings after the day visitors have gone.
Beyond Galle, the Dutch left their mark all around the coast. Visiting several sites gives a fuller picture of the VOC's network of trade and defence.
Matara Star Fort: A small, perfectly formed star-shaped fort on the south coast, built in the eighteenth century to protect the town. It houses a small museum and is one of the most photogenic Dutch buildings on the island.
Jaffna Fort: A massive star-shaped fort in the north, one of the largest colonial fortifications in Asia. Built on the site of an earlier Portuguese fort, it was expanded by the Dutch into a pentagonal stronghold with moats and bastions. It was badly damaged during the civil war, but restoration work has revealed its impressive scale. Read our Jaffna travel guide.
Negombo's Dutch canal: The Dutch built a network of canals along the west coast to transport cinnamon and other goods. In Negombo, north of Colombo, you can still take a boat along the canal, past fishing villages and mangroves. Negombo also has the remains of a small Dutch fort gateway.
Colombo: The Dutch Period Museum in Pettah is housed in a seventeenth-century building that was once the residence of the Dutch governor and later a hospital and post office. Wolvendaal Church, built in the mid-eighteenth century, is one of the oldest Protestant churches still in use in Sri Lanka and contains the tombs of several Dutch governors.
Kalpitiya and Hammenhiel: Smaller Dutch forts on the west and north coasts. Hammenhiel, on a tiny island near Jaffna, has been restored and can be visited.
Batticaloa Fort: A small fort on the east coast, surrounded by the lagoon on three sides, built by the Portuguese and taken by the Dutch.
Trincomalee: Fort Frederick, built by the Portuguese and later used by the Dutch and British, guards the entrance to one of the world's deepest natural harbours.
Days 1 and 2: Negombo. Take a boat along the Dutch canal and visit the fish market and churches.
Day 3: Colombo. Visit the Dutch Period Museum, Wolvendaal Church, the Pettah markets and the Fort district.
Days 4 to 6: The Cultural Triangle. Explore Anuradhapura, Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa, the great ancient capitals that flourished long before Europeans arrived.
Days 7 and 8: Kandy, the capital of the kingdom that allied with the Dutch against the Portuguese and then resisted them for more than a century.
Days 9 and 10: The tea country and the train to Ella.
Day 11: Yala or Udawalawe for a safari.
Days 12 to 14: Matara Star Fort and Galle Fort, with a stay inside the walls and time on the beach nearby.
With three weeks, add Jaffna in the north, where the great Dutch fort, Hammenhiel and the Tamil culture of the peninsula make a fascinating extension. Read our 3-week itinerary.
To understand the Dutch period, visit Kandy. The Kingdom of Kandy invited the Dutch to help expel the Portuguese, but then found itself surrounded by a new colonial power. For more than a century, Kandy maintained its independence in the mountains, trading and negotiating with the Dutch while resisting their attempts at control.
The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, in the centre of the city, was the symbol of royal authority. Dutch envoys visiting the king had to follow strict court protocol. Today, the temple is the most important Buddhist site in Sri Lanka, and the evening ceremony, with drums and offerings, is a moving experience.
The Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, a short drive away, are among the finest in Asia. Dutch travellers with an interest in botany will enjoy the collections of palms, orchids, spices and giant trees.
It is worth remembering that Sri Lanka had a sophisticated civilisation long before any European ship arrived. The Cultural Triangle holds five UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Anuradhapura was a capital for over a thousand years, with enormous stupas and advanced irrigation systems. Polonnaruwa, the medieval capital, has well-preserved palaces, temples and the beautiful Gal Vihara carvings. Sigiriya is a fifth-century royal palace on top of a massive rock, with frescoes and water gardens. The Dambulla cave temple is filled with painted ceilings and statues.
Dutch travellers, who come from a country famous for water management, are often fascinated by the ancient reservoirs and canals of the dry zone. Some of these tanks were built more than two thousand years ago and still irrigate the rice fields today.
Colombo was the VOC's headquarters in Sri Lanka, and although the city has changed enormously, a walk through its older districts reveals Dutch traces.
Start at the Dutch Period Museum on Prince Street in Pettah. The building, with its inner courtyard and thick walls, gives a sense of how officials and merchants lived. Its rooms display furniture, ceramics, coins and weapons from the Dutch period.
From there, walk through the busy Pettah markets, where streets are still organised by trade, as they were centuries ago. Continue to Wolvendaal Church, built on a hill in the mid-eighteenth century. Its thick walls, Dutch gables and wooden pews have changed little. Inside are memorial tablets and the tombs of Dutch governors, moved here from the old church in the fort.
The old Dutch Hospital in the Fort district, one of the oldest buildings in the city, has been restored and now houses restaurants and shops around shaded courtyards. It is a pleasant place to stop for lunch or coffee.
End the day at Galle Face Green, the seafront promenade, where local families gather at sunset.
Negombo, close to the airport, is often the first or last stop on a trip. It is also one of the best places to see Dutch heritage in daily life.
The Dutch canal network once linked Negombo with Colombo and Puttalam, carrying cinnamon, rice and other goods. Today, boat trips along the canal and lagoon pass fishing villages, mangroves and birdlife.
The remains of the Dutch fort gateway, dated 1678, stand near the lagoon. Negombo's fish market is one of the busiest on the island, with catches laid out to dry in the sun on the beach. The town is also known for its many churches, a legacy of Portuguese and later colonial influence.
Matara, east of Galle, has two Dutch forts. The main fort, on the peninsula between the river and the sea, contains old buildings and a clock tower. Across the river, the Star Fort is a compact, star-shaped fortress with a moat and a decorated gateway, built in the eighteenth century after an uprising. It is one of the most perfectly preserved small Dutch forts anywhere.
Nearby, the beaches of Mirissa, Polhena and Dondra offer places to relax. Dondra Head, the southernmost point of Sri Lanka, has a tall lighthouse built during the British period.
If you travel in the Dutch summer holidays, the east coast offers both good weather and heritage. Trincomalee's Fort Frederick guards a magnificent natural harbour that the Dutch, British, French and even Danes once competed for. Batticaloa Fort, surrounded by the lagoon on three sides, is small but atmospheric.
Combine these with the Cultural Triangle, Kandy and a week on the beaches of Nilaveli, Uppuveli or Passikudah. Read our Trincomalee travel guide and our Batticaloa guide.
The Burgher community of Sri Lanka traces part of its roots to Dutch, Portuguese and other European settlers who married into local families. Many Burghers once worked in law, medicine, teaching and the civil service. Although the community is smaller today, its influence on Sri Lankan culture, especially food, remains strong.
Lamprais is the most famous Burgher dish. The name comes from the Dutch "lomprijst", meaning a packet of rice. Rice is cooked in meat stock, then wrapped in a banana leaf with several accompaniments, usually a mixed meat curry, frikkadels, blachan, a shrimp paste relish, and seeni sambol, a sweet onion relish. The parcel is baked, releasing a wonderful aroma when opened. Many Colombo families still make lamprais for Sunday lunch or special occasions.
Frikkadels are small fried meatballs, a clear descendant of the Dutch frikadel.
Breudher is a rich, yeasted Christmas bread, a relative of the Dutch "broeder", often eaten with Edam cheese at breakfast on Christmas morning. Seeing Edam on a Sri Lankan Christmas table is a delightful surprise for Dutch visitors.
Love cake is a dense, fragrant cake made with semolina, cashew nuts, spices and rose water, served at birthdays and weddings.
Some Colombo bakeries and restaurants still serve these family recipes, and a few old Burgher households still bake breudher and love cake every December. Ask your guide where to find the best lamprais.
Several Sinhala words come from Dutch, a legacy of daily contact over many generations. "Kakulama", meaning kitchen, comes from "keuken". "Bonchi", meaning beans, comes from "boontjes". "Kokis", a crisp festive snack, is said to come from "koekjes". "Kantoruwa", meaning office, from "kantoor", is another example.
Ask your guide to point out others. It is a small but charming link between the two countries, and Dutch travellers often enjoy trying to guess the origins of words they hear.
One of the most lasting Dutch legacies is legal. Roman-Dutch law, introduced by the VOC, still forms part of Sri Lanka's common law today, especially in areas such as property and contracts. Law students in Sri Lanka still study concepts that would be familiar to Dutch legal historians.
Flights from Amsterdam usually connect through the Gulf or Istanbul, with total journey times of around twelve to sixteen hours. Flights arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport near Negombo, on the west coast, about an hour north of Colombo.
Most visitors need an Electronic Travel Authorisation before arrival. Apply only through the official government website, and check the latest entry requirements before you travel. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.
Sri Lanka has two monsoons that affect different regions at different times, so there is always somewhere with good weather.
Christmas holidays: The south and west coasts, the Cultural Triangle and the hill country are generally dry. Galle Fort is at its best.
Spring holiday in February: One of the best times for a complete round trip with beach time on the south coast.
May holiday: The south-west monsoon begins. Focus on the Cultural Triangle, the hill country and the east coast.
Summer holidays: The east coast, including Trincomalee and Batticaloa with their colonial forts, is at its best. The Cultural Triangle and Kandy are also good, and the Kandy Esala Perahera often falls in July or August. Jaffna, in the north, is dry and sunny.
Autumn holiday: Mixed weather, with fewer visitors. The Cultural Triangle and hill country can still be pleasant.
The Dutch came to Sri Lanka for cinnamon. True Ceylon cinnamon, from the inner bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, is lighter, sweeter and more delicate than the cassia commonly sold in European supermarkets.
Under the VOC, cinnamon was a strict monopoly. Harvesting was carried out by a specific community of peelers, and the spice was shipped to Europe at enormous profit. The Dutch later established plantations, some of which survive today.
On the south-west coast, you can visit a cinnamon estate and watch skilled peelers at work. They scrape the outer bark from young branches, then carefully remove the inner bark and roll it into delicate quills. It is a slow, precise craft, and watching it helps explain why cinnamon was once worth its weight in gold. Buy some fresh quills to take home. They make wonderful gifts for Dutch kitchens.
You will not find Dutch bike lanes in Sri Lanka, but cycling is still one of the best ways to explore certain areas.
Polonnaruwa is perfect for cycling, with flat, shaded paths linking palaces, temples and the carved Buddhas of Gal Vihara. Anuradhapura is larger, so allow a full day. Around Sigiriya, village cycling tours follow quiet lanes through paddy fields and past small reservoirs.
Main roads are busy and unpredictable, so avoid them. Cycle early in the morning, carry plenty of water and wear a helmet where available.
Balance forts and churches with Sri Lanka's extraordinary nature.
Yala National Park is famous for leopards, as well as elephants, sloth bears and crocodiles. It usually closes for part of September and October. Read our private leopard safari guide.
Udawalawe has elephants year-round, and Minneriya and Kaudulla host large elephant gatherings, usually around August and September.
Sinharaja Rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is home to many endemic birds, frogs and plants. Read our Sinharaja guide.
Horton Plains, in the highlands, offers a beautiful walk across grassland and cloud forest to World's End, a sheer cliff edge.
From about November to April, blue whales are often seen off Mirissa.
After the Dutch left, the British developed coffee plantations in the hill country, and later, when disease destroyed the coffee, tea. Today, the tea country is one of the most beautiful parts of the island.
Stay in a planter's bungalow, visit a working factory and take the famous train from Nanu Oya to Ella. For Dutch travellers used to flat horizons, the steep green hills, waterfalls and misty valleys are spectacular. Read our tea country guide.
Many heritage sites are close to good beaches, so it is easy to combine culture and relaxation.
Near Galle, Unawatuna and Jungle Beach have sheltered bays. Further east, Mirissa, Weligama and Tangalle offer everything from whale watching to quiet stretches of sand. These are best from December to April.
In summer, the east coast is ideal. Trincomalee's beaches at Uppuveli and Nilaveli are calm and clear, and Passikudah, near Batticaloa, has a long, shallow bay perfect for families.
Time difference: Sri Lanka is 4.5 hours ahead of the Netherlands in winter and 3.5 hours ahead in summer.
Language: Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages. English is widely spoken in tourism. Dutch-speaking guides are rare.
Plugs: Sockets are usually three-pin UK-style or round-pin. Bring a universal adapter.
Money: The currency is the Sri Lankan rupee. Cards are accepted in most hotels and larger restaurants. Carry cash for markets, tuk-tuks and temple donations.
Mobile data: Local SIM cards are easy to buy at the airport.
Transport: A private driver-guide is the most comfortable and safe way to travel. Roads are slow, so plan realistic distances.
Check travel vaccinations with your doctor or a travel clinic several weeks before departure. Use insect repellent, particularly at dawn and dusk, as dengue fever is present. Drink bottled or filtered water. The tropical sun is strong, so use high-factor sunscreen and wear a hat.
In the sea, follow local advice and flag warnings. Currents can be strong on some beaches.
Travel insurance covering medical care, cancellation and activities is essential.
Dress modestly at religious sites, covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes and hats before entering temples.
Never pose for photos with your back to a Buddha statue, and do not wear clothing or display tattoos showing the Buddha.
When visiting colonial churches, remember that many are still active places of worship. Dress respectfully and avoid visiting during services unless you plan to attend.
Be sensitive when discussing colonial history. Sri Lankans have a range of views on the colonial period, and a thoughtful, open conversation is always better than assumptions.
Ask before photographing people, especially at religious sites and in villages.
Gems, spices, pearls and cinnamon drew European traders to Sri Lanka for centuries. Dutch records mention sapphires, rubies and cat's eyes among the treasures of the island.
Today, Ratnapura is the centre of Sri Lanka's gem tourism. A visit shows the trade that once filled Dutch ships: miners digging pits by hand, washing gravel in woven baskets and searching for stones, then cutters shaping and polishing them in small workshops.
If you plan to buy, choose a reputable dealer and ask for a certificate from a recognised gem laboratory. Our Sapphire Trail tour covers the whole process, and our sapphire buying guide explains what to check.
Light clothing that covers shoulders and knees for temples and churches.
Comfortable walking shoes for forts and ancient sites.
A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and insect repellent.
A light rain jacket and a warm layer for the hill country.
A notebook, if you plan to trace family history or record inscriptions.
Some Dutch travellers have ancestors who served with the VOC in Ceylon. If you are researching family history, gather as much information as possible before you travel: names, dates, ranks and places of service.
The Dutch Burgher Union in Colombo has long preserved genealogical records of Burgher families. Church registers, gravestones in Galle and Colombo, and archives in the Netherlands can also help. Standing in the church where an ancestor worshipped, or finding a family name carved in stone, can be a deeply moving experience.
Dutch travellers are often fascinated by Sri Lanka's ancient water engineering. Long before the VOC, Sri Lankan kings built thousands of reservoirs, called tanks, connected by canals and channels to store monsoon rain and irrigate rice fields in the dry season.
Some tanks, such as those around Anuradhapura and the Parakrama Samudra at Polonnaruwa, are enormous and still in use. Engineers designed gentle gradients, spillways and sluices with remarkable precision. For a country that has spent centuries managing water, seeing these ancient systems is a revelation.
Sri Lanka is a great destination for Dutch families. Children enjoy exploring forts, walking the ramparts at Galle, climbing Sigiriya, watching elephants on safari and riding the hill country train.
Keep driving days short, choose hotels with pools and plan sightseeing for early morning. Mild dishes such as dhal, rice, egg hoppers and fruit are easy options for younger children.
Underestimating driving times. Sri Lanka's roads are slow.
Visiting Galle Fort only at midday. Come in the late afternoon or stay overnight.
Choosing the wrong coast for the season.
Forgetting warm clothes for the hill country.
Many hotels and restaurants include a service charge. If not, leaving around ten percent is appreciated. Drivers, guides and safari jeep crews are usually tipped at the end of their service.
In Sinhala, "ayubowan" means "may you live long" and is used as a greeting. "Stuthi" means thank you. In Tamil, "vanakkam" means hello and "nandri" means thank you.
Heritage sites come alive with a knowledgeable guide. A good guide explains how the VOC operated, how the forts were built and defended, and how the Dutch period fits into Sri Lanka's longer history. They can also help you find smaller sites that are easy to miss, and adapt the route to your interests.
A private driver-guide also makes travel safer and more comfortable on Sri Lanka's busy roads, and gives you the flexibility to linger where you want.
For Dutch travellers with three weeks, the north is a rewarding extension. Jaffna Fort, the largest Dutch fort in Sri Lanka, has a pentagonal shape with bastions, a moat and gateways. Inside, the ruins of the Dutch church, the Queen's House and other buildings hint at its former grandeur.
Off the coast, the islands of the Jaffna peninsula are reached by causeways and ferries. Hammenhiel, a small Dutch fort on its own islet, has been restored. The island of Kayts, named by the Portuguese, and Delft, named by the Dutch after their own city, have quiet villages, old coral-stone walls and wild ponies said to descend from horses brought by the Portuguese.
Jaffna is also the heart of Sri Lankan Tamil culture. Visit the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, the public library and the markets, and try Jaffna crab curry. The north is best from February to September.
If you travel in July or August, check the dates of the Kandy Esala Perahera. Over ten nights, processions of dancers, drummers, fire performers and decorated elephants parade through the streets. The festival dates back many centuries and was witnessed by Dutch envoys during the Kandyan period. Book accommodation months in advance, and reserve seats along the route through your hotel or tour operator.
Dutch travellers used to flat landscapes often love the hill country walks. Little Adam's Peak near Ella is short and easy. Ella Rock is longer and steeper. At Horton Plains, a 9 km loop leads to World's End, a sheer cliff edge with dramatic views on clear mornings.
Adam's Peak, a sacred mountain, is climbed at night by pilgrims to see the sunrise from the summit, from December to May. Read our best hikes guide.
In the countryside around Sigiriya, take a bullock cart ride through paddy fields, cross a small reservoir in a canoe and share a traditional lunch served on lotus leaves. On the coast, watch fishermen bring in their catch at dawn. These experiences show a side of Sri Lanka that forts and museums cannot.
The ramparts of Galle Fort are especially beautiful at sunset. The Star Fort in Matara is best photographed in soft morning light. Always ask before photographing people, and never use flash near ancient paintings. Drone use is restricted near forts, temples, airports and military sites, so check the rules first.
After days of forts, museums and ancient cities, many Dutch travellers finish with a few days of Ayurveda. Sri Lanka's traditional medicine uses herbal oil massages, steam baths, herbal remedies and a simple diet to restore balance. Choose a centre with a qualified doctor who can recommend treatments suited to you. Short stays are relaxing, while programmes of one or two weeks offer deeper benefits. Read our Ayurveda guide.
Ceylon cinnamon quills, tea from estate shops, handloom textiles, batik, wooden masks and lacquerware make good souvenirs. Antique shops in Galle and Colombo sometimes sell colonial-era furniture, maps and ceramics, but check export rules for antiques before buying. Buying from fair-trade shops and small workshops supports local artisans.
Buy a local SIM card at the airport for maps and messages. Most hotels have Wi-Fi. Keep your driver's number, hotel details and a copy of your passport and travel insurance on your phone.
Many Burgher families emigrated in the decades after independence, particularly to Australia, but the community still has a presence in Colombo and some other towns. Organisations such as the Dutch Burgher Union preserve its history, and family names like Ludowyk, VanderStraaten, Jansz and Toussaint are still heard. Meeting members of the community, if the opportunity arises, gives a living perspective on the long connection between the two countries.
A typical heritage day might begin with an early walk on Galle's ramparts, when the air is cool and fishermen are out on the water. After breakfast, visit the Dutch Reformed Church and the Maritime Museum, then continue along the coast to Matara to explore the Star Fort. Stop for a seafood lunch by the sea, and in the afternoon, relax on a quiet beach near Mirissa before returning to the fort for sunset. It is a day that combines history, food and the sea, with plenty of time to enjoy each stop. In the evening, dine inside the fort walls and listen to the waves breaking against the bastions below.
Are there Dutch-speaking guides? They are rare, but English is widely spoken.
Is Galle Fort worth a full day? Yes. Many travellers stay a night inside the walls.
Can we visit Jaffna Fort? Yes. It is open to visitors and combines well with a trip to the north.
When is the best time to follow the heritage trail? December to April for the west and south, and May to September for the east and north.
Is Sri Lanka good for families? Yes. Children love the forts, the wildlife and the beaches.
How long should we stay? Two weeks for the main heritage sites, three weeks to include the north.
Sri Lanka Travel Tours can build a private Dutch heritage route, combining forts, churches, museums and canals with culture, safari, tea country and beaches. We work with knowledgeable guides who can explain the Dutch period in context, and we can help you plan visits connected with family history.
