SEVEN LAYER FORTRESS Seven-Layer Fortress, is the traditional fort built by the freedom fighters of Rokan Hulu land, commanded by the Tuanku Tambusai. This fort consists of seven layers with an 11-foot high mound planted with AUO Duri (thorny bamboo). Between 1838 to 1839 Lieutenant Colonel Michele came at Dalu-Dalu to conquer the land, and eventually achieved this goal, as Tuanku Tambusai along with his soldiers died in defense in Negeri Sembilan Malaysia. The persistence of Tuanku Tambusai made the Dutch grant him the title of “Van De Padrische Tijger Rokan” which meant “Padri Tiger of Rokan.” In addition to Tuanku Tambusai, Sultan Zainal Abidin also used this fort against the country rebels. Now this fort is no longer in its original shape, but the government of Rokan Hulu will have this historical site renovated. |
