About

Fort de Goede Hoop (English: Fort Good Hope) is a historic Dutch fort located in Senya Beraku, Central Region, Ghana. Established in 1667, it was the last fort built by the Dutch on the Gold Coast and played a role in the gold and slave trade.

It is part of the Forts and Castles of Ghana UNESCO World Heritage List site, inscribed in 1979 due to its role in European colonial trade and the Atlantic slave trade.
