Toren Willem stands tall in the village of Melingge, Kec, Pulo Aceh, the westernmost. It was built in 1875 when King William III came to power (1817-1890). Naturally, if the name of this flare adopted the name of the king better known as Willem Alexander Paul Frederik Lodewijk, ruler of Luxemburg. During his reign, Willem actively built the economy and infrastructure of the Dutch East Indies, including Pulo Aceh.

I hope so too
