Ussher Fort, Dutch colonial fort in Ashiedu Keteke, Ghana.
Fort Crèvecœur stands between two lagoons on a rocky point, featuring thick defensive walls and strategic observation points for maritime control.
The Dutch West India Company constructed Fort Crèvecœur in 1649, which later transferred to British control through the Anglo-Dutch Gold Coast Treaty of 1867.
The fort forms part of Ghana's UNESCO World Heritage collection, representing the European colonial presence and trade activities along the Gold Coast.
Visitors can explore the fort from Monday through Saturday between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM, with guided tours available throughout operating hours.
The European Commission and UNESCO support the transformation of Fort Crèvecœur into a museum and International Documentation Centre focused on colonial history.
