World218-Year-Old Koder House in Fort Kochi Destroyed by Fire
On September 29, 2026, a major fire gutted the 218-year-old Koder House in Fort Kochi near Vasco da Gama Square. The blaze, likely caused by a short circuit, spread rapidly through the three-storey building's upper floor. Firefighters, Navy, and Coast Guard teams controlled the fire without casualties. The historic red-brick building, built by Samuel Koder in 1808, was a landmark of the Cochin Jewish community and Kochi's trading history.
