Fort Goede Hoop, Dutch colonial fort in Senya Beraku, Ghana
Fort Goede Hoop stands as a rectangular fortification with four bastions, officer quarters, and storage facilities near a landing beach.
The Dutch constructed Fort Goede Hoop in 1667, expanding it from a triangular structure to a square fort in 1715 to accommodate increased trade activities.
The fort represents the intersection of Dutch colonial influence and local Ghanaian heritage, serving as an educational site for understanding historical trade relationships.
Visitors can access the fort throughout the year, with guided tours available to explore the bastions, walls, and former storage areas.
The fort contains a preserved slave prison within one of its bastions, demonstrating its transformation from a gold trading post to a center of slave trade.
