Heeren Street Malacca 

Origin of Heeren Street Originally called “Kampung Belanda” (Dutch Village), it ended up with the nickname of “Millionaires’ Row” because of its well-heeled residents. The narrow street with houses adorned with ornately decorated façades was the choice neighbourhood for the prosperous Straits-born Chinese (Peranakan or Babas and Nyonyas) in the mid-19th and early 20th century. These affluent folks competed with each other to build the most flamboyant of houses, many of which stand to this day. Heeren Street is now known as Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock.
