Fort Fredensborg, Danish colonial fort in Old Ningo, Ghana

Fort Fredensborg stands in ruins in the village of Old Ningo, on the Gulf of Guinea in Ghana's Greater Accra Region. Denmark-Norway built it in 1734 as one of six trading forts it held on the Gold Coast, with Fort Christiansborg in Accra as its main fort and Fredensborg lying further east. A drawing made in 1760 by the Danish slave trader Rømer records how the fort looked.

The fort was founded in 1734 by Danish colonists as a trading post on the coast. In 1850, it came under British control as its original commercial role had already begun to shift.

The ruins are being preserved as a cultural monument linked to the slave trade, and a 1760 drawing by the Danish slave trader Rømer records how the fort looked. The slave ship Fredensborg was named after this trading fort.

Fort Fredensborg stands in Old Ningo, in the Greater Accra Region, on the Gulf of Guinea coast east of Accra. The ruins are reached from the village of Old Ningo; the site is unroofed and exposed, so a hat and water are useful. Danish sources note that work is under way to conserve the ruins as a cultural monument linked to the slave trade.

A 1760 drawing by the Danish slave trader Rømer records how the fort looked in its trading years. The Danish slave ship Fredensborg, wrecked off Norway in 1768, was named after this fort, linking the site to voyages across the Atlantic.
