Oranjestad Attractions

De Graaff House is a small museum which tells visitors about the settlement and natural history of the island.

The Dutch Reform Church has been in ruins since the roof was destroyed in the 18th c, but visitors may still climb its tower for a clear view of the island.

The preserved 17th c. Fort Oranje retains its cannons and bastions. In the courtyard are memorials to Michiel Adriaanz de Ruyter (17th c. Dutch Admiral), the 18th c. American Man of War "Andrew Doria", a World War II Memorial, and a Bicentenail plaque donated by the U.S. Virgin Islands. The fort overlooks Lower Oranjestad.

The Gertrude Judson Memorial Library houses a collection of Caribbean literature.

Built in 1739, the Honen Dalim Synagogue is no longer in use. Its cemetery contains markers from the 18th and 19th centuries.

The St Eustatius Historical Foundation Museum in Oranjestad, contained in an 18th c. merchant's house, displays household and nautical articles and antiques. There are also archeological displays related to the island.

The town hall, Stadhuis, is a good example of Dutch Colonial architecture.
