history

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the residence of the ruler of Ambeno was in Nunuheu . In July 1641, the ruler of Ambeno and his entourage were baptized here by Dominicans .

In May 1912 the ruler of Ambeno rebelled. All Portuguese in the empire who were not church members were brought to the seat of government by João da Cruz , Usif of Ambeno, and executed. The gunboat Pátria brought African soldiers and 150 Moradores stationed in Timor under the command of Capitão Pimenta de Castro to Ambeno. The rebellion was put down. João da Cruz fled to the Dutch part of Timor and Nunuheu lost his status as the seat of the ruler of Ambeno. João da Cruz's relatives, newly appointed by the Portuguese, settled in Tulaica . In addition, the kingdom of Ambeno was now finally subordinated to the kingdom of Oe-Cusse and Hugo da Costa.

The ruins of the Portuguese Mission in Nunuheu are now the meeting point of the traditional rulers of Oe-Cusse for negotiations.
