Yes! You must visit the Dutch Period Museum on Prince Street. It is a beautifully restored 17th-century Dutch governors mansion right in the middle of the chaotic market. Also, check out the Wolvendaal Church at the edge of Pettah; it is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Asia and has incredible carved wooden pews.

The Red Mosque (Jami Ul-Alfar) is not Dutch, but it is visually stunning and right in the center of Pettah.

The old Town Hall at the end of Main Street is also a cool colonial building, though it is looking a bit run down now.
