Fort Goede Hoop, Dutch colonial fort in Senya Beraku, Ghana

Fort Goede Hoop is a Dutch colonial fort in Senya Beraku with four bastions and a rectangular design. The structure contains officer quarters, storage rooms for merchandise, and access to a beach landing area.

The Dutch set up a lodge at Senya Beraku in the 1660s but abandoned it after the British built a fort at nearby Winneba. In 1704 they obtained permission from the Queen of Agona to build a fort for the gold trade with Akim; the triangular Fort de Goede Hoop was rebuilt from 1715 into a rectangular fort with four bastions and a slave prison in the southwest bastion. Britain captured it in 1782 and it was ceded to the United Kingdom in 1868.

The name Goede Hoop means "Good Hope" in Dutch, given a year after the triangular fort was built around 1702. The Dutch expected to profit from the gold trade with Akim, but that hope largely failed; the slave trade later proved the profitable business here. The fort now serves as a rest house and tourist site.

The site is accessible year-round, and guided tours help visitors understand the bastions, walls, and former storage areas. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the structures sit directly on sand and the ground can be uneven.

The southwest bastion held a dedicated slave prison, added when the fort was doubled in 1715; separate male and female prisons are recorded among its rooms. The outer defensive wall raised in the late 18th century has almost entirely vanished, so the present outline shows the fort without its final layer of defence.
