Built in 1521 by a Portuguese captain and originally called the Church of Our Lady of Annunciation, it was renamed when the Dutch captured Melaka in 1641. It was further damaged when the British invaded and started destroying fortifications, at that stage losing its tower. The British added the lighthouse in front and used the church as a place to store gunpowder
