History:
A Living Monument Of World Heritage Fort Cochin & The
Malabar House: Cochin
has a unique place in world history. Since the great flood
of 1341, when Cochin became a natural Harbour, it has been the
center stage of early international trade between the West and the
Far East. In the 13th century Chinese and Arabs were
already trading at the port of Cochin. In 1500 AD the Portuguese led
by Vasco-da-Gama arrived, marking the beginning of European
colonialism. Subsequently Cochin has been dominated by the Dutch and
the British. A large number of trading communities settled and 14
different languages were spoken at a time. James Fordes,
an English traveler, wrote in 1772: "It was a great emporium of
trade, presenting a striking contrast to Goa, a Harbour filled with
ships, streets crowded with merchants and warehouses stored with
goods from every part of Asia and Europe". In a major
step to preserve Fort Cochin as part of the Indian heritage it has
been declared a Heritage Zone. The Malabar House is
situated in the center of the Heritage Zone on the old Parade
Ground, facing the Vasco da Gama church and 2 minutes walk from the
sea front with the Chinese fishing nets. Malabar House is
part of Fort Cochin's history. The oldest of the existing ancient
deeds documents that Jan Herman Clausing, a Dutch, bought the house
on 27th May, 1755 from Mathew Henrich Beyls for $756 at 32 Cochin
panams each. In 1795 the British conquered Fort Cochin and the
ownership changed into British hands. Malabar House became
eventually the residence of Wrinkler family. The great
fire of 1889 gutted almost all warehouses along the port. The
devastation was so terrible, that the Port Captain, Mr. Wrinkler
erected a monument, which is still to be found on the nearby beach:
"The great fire of Cochin 4th January 1889, erected by Mr.
Wrinkler". His daughter sold Malabar House to Harrison and
Crossfield, one of the major trading houses in South India. They
sold it to the National Bank, which renovated it as residence of its
directors. In 1995 Malabar House was acquired by Cochin
Residency (P) Ltd., The Malabar House is their registered trademark.
