MONSOPIAD CULTURAL ATTRACTION

The Monsopiad Cultural Village is a historical site in the heartland of theKadazandusun people. The Monsopiad Cultural Village opened on the 1st of May 1996, in memory of the great and legendary Kadazan Warrior Monsopiad. The traditional village has been built on historical ground: on the very land where Monsopiad lived and roamed some three centuries ago.


The Monsopiad Cultural Village is the only cultural village in Sabah, and a unique feature throughout Borneo in so far as it relates directly to a historical person: Monsopiad. The direct descendants of Monsopiad, his 6th and 7th generations have built, and presently manage, the village to remember their forefathers, and to give you an extraordinary insight into their ancient and rich culture. The Monsopiad Cultural Village is a private initiative that does not receive any grants from the Malaysian Government, but relies solely on the support of visitors. Visiting the village, you contribute directly to the conservation of one of Malaysia's rich cultural heritages!
