Fort Fredensborg, Danish colonial fort in Old Ningo, Ghana
Fort Fredensborg stands along the Gulf of Guinea coast in the Greater Accra Region, featuring architectural elements typical of 18th-century Danish fortifications.
Constructed in 1734 by Danish colonizers, the fort operated as a slave trading station until its transfer to British control in 1850.
The structure represents one of Ghana's material cultural heritage sites, documenting European colonial presence and the transatlantic slave trade history.
The Ghana Museums and Monuments Board manages the fort's preservation and provides educational resources about its historical significance at their Accra office.
By 1835, the fort's military presence had reduced to a single soldier, whose sole duty was maintaining the Danish flag.
