                                               This Nest was built by the Dutch when they ruled in Sri Lanka. The historical books say that those pigeons were used as Messengers. It is a tower made out of the coral rocks with a solid base about eight feet square, up to a height of fifteen feet, surmounted by a Cage-House of five storeys of same floor space and rising to a height of thirty feet at the apex of the roof. It has been used to rest and keep the pigeons which were used to send messages during the Dutch era.
