The Fengguewei Dutch Fort is located on the northern peninsula of Fenggui Village in Magong, commonly referred to as "Shetoushan" (Snake Head Hill). It was built in 1622 (the 2nd year of the Tianqi era of the Ming Dynasty) by the Dutch as a trading post. This fort is the earliest Western-style castle constructed in Taiwan and holds considerable strategic importance and cultural value. It is now designated as a national historic monument.
In 1624 (Tianqi 4), after the Ming Dynasty army launched an attack on Penghu, the Dutch were defeated. Following negotiations between the Dutch and the Ming forces, an agreement was reached. As a result, the Dutch dismantled the fort and transported its building materials to Tayouan (present-day Anping), where they used them to construct Fort Zeelandia (now Anping Fort).
In 2001, to commemorate this historically significant event, the Netherlands Office Taipei funded the installation of a monument at the site.
