Danish Fort

Excellent Beach located near a Danish fort. Well maintained beach has historical touch everywhere. A well built colony with beautiful buildings and Church built in 1900s. Has enough parking and 4star hotel near by beach for stay. There is a Harbour View Point near this don't miss that too. Evening and Morning times would be giving us an excellent view and climate around it.

It's a beautiful small fort. The sea view from the fort is eyepleasing. Definitely worth the visit.

If are planning to go to Tharangambadi then Denish Fort is a must visit place. The musuem takes us back to the old ages. Fort's architectural design was awestruck. It located at the beach shore were you can enjoy a quality time at the beach.

Great place to hand out with friends. It has a beach attached to it so you can enjoy scenic view of the shore. You will also understand the history behind the fort during the Danish invasion and British period. The fort also has a museum inside it where the historic importance can be understood in detail.

I enjoyed with my family. Such a nice place. Pleasant ⛵ sea breeze.

Museum was not maintained properly. Nothing inside the fort for historical reference you can explore

The essence of history flows here a lot , but needs maintenance.

An old Danish Fort that is located at the seashore. The entrance fees is about ₹5 and inside a museum is also there where some artifacts, paintings are kept. Nearby beach is there but no one is allowed to bath as sea waves are high here. Good place to visit for a day. There are set of buildings nearby like governors bungalow which was used during British rule.

Wonderful place to see. Which is built 400 years before by Danish Government for business..

Must visit place if you travel via Tharangambadi. Entrance fee was 5 rs only (I visited on Dec 2022). Beach is at the Backside of fort. During sunset the beach and fort will look beautiful.

Good place to visit everyone. Visiting charge 5 rupees per person.

A nice fort overlooking the beach. The view from the fort is awesome. The fort can be maintained better though. Has several artifacts and paintings. Will take around 15 mins from thirukadaiyur.

This fort shows a lot about the Danish and Indian Culture about 500 years back and how they used to live. But It could be a bit well maintained by the Indian Government. It should be renovated and then it would be the best. Just outside the fort there is a beach where you can enjoy with kids there was horse 🐴 Ride too Outside the fort. So I think it is a good Place to spend an evening with your Family and Friends .

It has a museum, and the entry fee is 5 rs per person. The view is spectacular. This is a highly underrated tourist destination, do visit .

It's good place for everyone to have fun at the beach and be relaxed.... Compared to phoompur beach.... This beach is maintained properly with toilet and pumping water facilities

(Visited in September 2023) - Fort Dansborg is the second largest fortification ever built by Danes and harks back to the colonial era of Denmark - Norway's colonial possessions in India. The fort was built in c.1620s CE and housed trade and missionary activities of Danes, before it was sold to the British in c.1840s CE. Now, the fort houses a museum.

A very beautiful fort, built during three Danish times. Still standing strong and currently being used as a memorial of the Danish culture being lived there, years ago. Interestingly they also have ruled us for a short while. This is a will planned fort with cannons, a pier for the ships to dock, jails, storage space surrounded by tall walls. I must say that it is a well protected fort by looking at the structure. Distance from the sea is very short, making the transportation of goods easy as and when they arrive from Denmark. You might wanna check the timings because they keep changing it though.
