If you visit Kebumen, it would not hurt you to stop for a moment of historical tourist attractions Van der Wijck fort. Location in Kebumen-Yogya, which is about 300 meters. Ancient fortress with the dominant red color is quite striking among other buildings, but veiled from the main road entrance to remember this tour location far enough away from the gate of the fort. Miniature trains provided a ready take visitors from the main gate surrounds this historic tourist attraction. In addition, some means of child's play has been built around the castle like a swan boat, turn the wheel and various other kids games. Not to forget is also a giant dinosaur statue come to enliven the atmosphere is built and more acquainted with the world of children. Even a miniature train station built right at the top fortress above the main entrance, allowing visitors to round the side of the castle by using a mini train.
Inside the castle itself, visitors can see some photos documentation about the original form as found in the castle building and restoration stages that have been made against him. Rooms former military barracks, dormitories, the gatehouse can be seen inside the fort and practically everything in a neat and clean condition. It's just a sign taped to the outside the castle contains "Before entering the castle you should pray for a moment by their belief", could cause wrinkles while reading it because didahi sinister impression. Could it ever happen the things that happen outside of reason while they are guests in the castle, like a trance?
Fortress Van der Wijck actually built in the early 19th century or around the year 1820, people who initiated the establishment of this fort was the governor-general Van den Bosch. At that time, many of the fort that was built with forced labor employment system (forced labor) because there are rules that residents must pay taxes in the form of labor. Of course this makes us more and more people suffer much less before the governor-general Deandels similar projects which have highway heading (Anyer - Penarukan, along ca. 1000 km), also with compulsory labor work.
Viewed from the shape of the building, contemporary with the fort construction Willem (Ambarawa) and Prins Oranje (Semarang - has now been destroyed). At the beginning of its founding, the fort with a 10 m high wall is named Fort Cochius (Fort Cochius). His name is taken from one of the Dutch military officer (Frans David Cochius) who had assigned Bagelen (one region Kedu residency). Van der Wijck names, listed on the front of the entrance, is one of the Dutch military officer who had been a commander at the fort. Van der Wijck reputation is quite brilliant because one of his services is to silence the fighters in Aceh.
