Christiansted National Historic Site, Danish colonial site in Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands
The historic complex spans seven acres along the waterfront, featuring six structures including Fort Christiansvaern and the Danish West India Company Warehouse.
Established in 1952, this site preserves buildings from 1733 to 1917 when Denmark controlled the territory before selling it to the United States.
The structures demonstrate the connections between Europe, West Africa, and North America through architecture, trade relations, and social systems.
The National Park Service maintains guided tours through the fort, warehouse, customs house, and scale house throughout the week.
The fort cells contain the former prison chamber of Rachel Faucette, who was detained in 1750 under Danish law.
