Fort Kongenstein, Danish colonial fort in Ada Foah, Ghana
The remains of Fort Kongenstein stand at the point where the Volta River meets the Atlantic Ocean along Ghana's coastline.
Danish traders constructed Fort Kongenstein in 1783 as a strategic trading post, which was later acquired by British forces in 1850.
The fort complex represents a critical period in Ghana's colonial past, serving as a trading center between European merchants and local populations.
The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board manages access to the fort site, though coastal erosion continues to affect the remaining structures.
Most of the original stone fortress has disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean due to persistent coastal erosion and rising sea levels.
