Oranje Nassau

Benteng Belanda (Oranje Nassau) located in Benteng Village is located about 50 km north of Martapura
located in Pengaron District, Banjar Regency. Named Benteng Village because there is a historical
heritage consisting of Dutch defenses in the forest and about 2 km from residential areas.

To get to the location of Oranje Nassau Fortress takes around 2.5 hours from Banjarmasin, the access is
easily accessed because the road is smoothly paved except when accessing the Benteng Village area
which requires rocky roads.

A fortress built with solid concrete and stone inside is installed under a very dangerous underground on
the edge that empties near the Pengaron River located in Pengaron Village, with a distance of 4 km to 5
km to 3 km, Benteng Maniapun Pengaron.

The existence of the Dutch Fort in the District of Pengaron was his own in the history of the Banjar War,
on April 28, 1859, the Banjar War led by Prince Antasari erupted, by seizing the Pengaron fortress which
had been fiercely killed by the invaders.

Early in the morning around 300 irregulars led directly by Prince Antasari attacked the coal mine and
Dutch fort at Pengaron. The battle lasted until 14:00 noon. Both the Prince Antasari and the Dutch fell
victim.

Pengaron was surrounded by the people of the Antasari army. Beeckman, the main commander in the
Fort and the Oranje Nassau coal mine, was very worried because food supplies were running low. He
immediately sent a courier, but the courier could be killed by paramilitary Prince Antasari.

When the situation outside the mines and outside the Dutch fort at Pengaron can already be controlled
paramilitary Prince Antasari. Twenty armed machetes slipped into the Oranje Nassau Pengaron's coal
mines and fortresses, but unfortunately the enemy was known, and all were killed.

Prince Antasari as the leader of the resistance forces sent a letter to Beeckman to surrender. Under
such conditions the Dutch government considered Prince Antasari dangerous so that it was considered a
rebel who was charged with a "prince" or a 10,000 guilder's head price to catch him alive or dead.

So that the existence of the fort became a most important silent witness in the history of the Banjar
Kingdom war with the Dutch, because it was at this location that Prince Antasari first carried out an
attack on the Dutch which made the Banjar war first erupt.
