Het kasteel van Batavia is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch painter Andries Beeckman.

The painting depicts the Batavia Castle, the headquarter of the Dutch East India Company located in what is now Kota Tua in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The painter created a vibrant setting by having a kind of street market placed below four rows of coconut palm trees.

Men in striped clothing are the Mardijkers, released freed slaves from the conquered Portuguese territory.

At the very top of the palm trees, there are a few boys are picking coconuts, and throw them down to be collected by a group of Javanese at the bottom.

Nevertheless, his presentation of the market to the left of Kali Besar is reasonable, as there are buildings accurately located on the west side of the river.

[2] In 1688, John George III, Elector of Saxony received permission from the Amsterdam Chamber to copy the paintings from the meeting room of the East Indies House, including Beeckman's Het Kasteel van Batavia.

Although the painting of De markt van Batavia is traditionally attributed to Beeckman, it does not correspond stylistically to his work and there is no reason to doubt the authenticity of this signature.
