This House had been a host to Presidents, Prime Ministers, Viceroys, Ambassadors and other prominent dignitaries. This dwelling also finds a prominent place on INTACH's list of heritage sites, and a visit to Fort Cochin is considered to be incomplete without a visit to this historic monument.Koder House is located at Tower road, Fort Cochin.
