About Kampung Morten

Kampung Morten is a traditional Malay village in the middle of the city, named after J. F. Morten, a British land officer who laid it out in the 1920s. It was declared a heritage village in 1989 and still has more than 100 timber houses.

Villa Sentosa, built in 1920, is run by the family as a private living museum of village life and marked its 100th year in 2024. People live in the other houses, so keep your voice down and do not walk into compounds. The river cruise passes the village.
