EZILE TOURS

 In 1683, the Brandenburger Company established a lodge in Akwidaa, situated east of Cape Three Points in Ghana's Western Region. Albert van Danzig described Fort Dorothea as a small triangular structure strategically located on a promontory at the tip of a peninsula, flanked by the Suni River and the sea, which provided natural defenses. 

  During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Akwidaa, then known as Fort Dorothea, was the smaller of two forts that comprised the Brandenburger Gold Coast, a German colony.  Built by the Brandenburgers in 1685, the fort experienced several shifts in control. It was briefly held by the Dutch from 1687 to 1690 before being returned to the Brandenburgers in 1698. The fort was abandoned around 1709, later reoccupied by the Dutch in 1712, then handed back to the Brandenburgers within the same year, and ultimately sold to the Dutch in 1718. 

The lodge was captured in 1690, and enlarged into a fort by the Dutch. It was renamed Fort Dorothea. It is currently preserved as a ruin.

The ruins of Fort Dorothea, along with other regional forts, were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.

Fort Dorothea represents the complex and turbulent history of colonialism on the Gold Coast, reflecting the shifting dominance of European powers during that era. Its UNESCO World Heritage status underscores its historical significance and the need to preserve its remnants for future generations.

Hike Fort Dorothea for a sneak peek into history. From the top of the Dorothea’s rounded rocky hill, you will enjoy stunning views of the surrounding area. Note: the land around the ruins of the fort is considered sacred ground, as it serves as a cemetery for the Akwidaa royal family.

 As such, you must seek permission before trekking to the site.
