The guide Joseph Kofi (Friday born like me) was an amazing host. The fort was small but very intimate. It made me sad to hear the history. Great place to see.

It has amazing views of the town and sea but not much is left of the fort, still worth the visit.

Isolated on a hill in Kormanti, Fort Amsterdam is one of the many Heritage sites in the Central Region of Ghana. It makes for attractive viewing from a distance for travelers looking out their vehicle windows onto the hills and greenery that engulf the main road into the region. All the history it carries and lessons from it is accessible when one gets closer enough and engage the tour guides in and around the fort.

True definition of ruins. It's worth passing through. Just watch where you step on the outside. The locals could do a better job at keeping the surroundings neat.

This is what history says Fort Amsterdam, a World Heritage Site is a fort in Kormantin, Central region, Ghana. It was built by the English between 1638 and 1645 as Fort Cormantin or Fort Courmantyne, and was captured by admiral Michiel de Ruyter of the Dutch West India Company in 1665,[1]in retaliation for the capture of several Dutch forts by the English Admiral Holmes in 1664.[2] It was subsequently made part of the Dutch Gold Coast, and remained part of it until the fort was traded with the British in 1868. The Fort is located at Abandze ,on the north-east of Cape Coast in the Mfantseman District of the Central Region of Ghana.

The castle is currently being restored (as of 2019) but you can still visit it, no problemo. Senior director Kofi will take you around for a historical tour of the castle for 10 cedis per person. He's super fun and knowledgeable. The view is great. As you'll be the only people there it makes for a super authentic, non-touristy experience 👌

Very good historical site but abandoned by authorities. Freelance tour guide is however there to take tourists round.

My home fort

The history is the same as other castles along the coast. Built for goods trading and later converted to slave trading.

(Translated by Google) Historic site to see absolutely for those interested in history and its strongholds (Original) Lieu historique a voir absolument pour ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire et ses places fortes

Good height and sweet aerial view. Though the fort is not well maintained, it's a good place that recounts history.

Great historic place ..

This former fort is in ruins. The walk from to the top is just about 5 minutes and you will be accompanied by lots of children who want to accompany every visitor. The view from the top of the hill where the fort is located, towards the fishing village and cost is gorgeous.

A great experience of history. The tour guide is doing a great job there, do well to contribute for the proposed projects when you visit

Good

Very sober and histrionic to place to be

is my home town

Under renovation

Amazing

Nice environment, nice people but was disappointed with services for an evening dinner with colleagues I booked. Food delayed badly.

It's reminds me of the history of my ancestors captured as slaves to both British and Co..

Ruins of a once solid Fort by the sea coast

Had a fun and amazing experience. You should try it out.

History

Is very awesome

Tourist attraction

Very interesting and more educative tour sites. The history is still relevant. We need it.

Very Cool Place to visit for fun and for education. I mean to learn some thing about slave trade

Because the building has just started collapsing

Fort Amsterdam Slave Castle in Abandze, a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a great edifice to behold!! Am informed that it was built by the English between 1638 and 1645 as Fort Cormantin and was captured by admiral Michiel de Ruyter of the Dutch West India Company in 1665, in retaliation for the capture of several Dutch forts by the English Admiral Holmes in 1664. I could not get into the castle proper but my interaction with the local people revealed that it was in ruins and if properly rehabilitated, it would attract a lot of tourists and consequently, revenue for development.

Old fort needs a lot of work. Meet Mr Kofi, he shares his passion and dream regarding castle restoration. Dear tourism Authority please look into it.

Impressive fort and history, excellent guide

A good tourist place that can be renovated for a good use and boost tourism in Ghana 🇬🇭.

A must visit Fort on your way to Cape coast.

It’s a nice cool place but limited history tho

Nice place to see, experience and learn more about the past history

Its the beautiful, clean and automated lodge on the mankessiem, cape coast stretch

Looks good with stairs to go up

Its in ruins but caretaker is friendly and knowledgeable. Quite an easy climb to the Fort 5 minutes walk and you can drive to the foot of the hill.

The sea view from the fort is perfect..

It grew very fast and need mataince

This Fort happened to be one of the fortz established by our colonial masters and it was sad how they came and exploit our resources and inflicted pains on us one way or the other. Our forefathers really fought a battle. But the Fort is still well maintained

Beautiful and historic.

A very interesting place
