Danish Fort ( Fort Dansborg ), Tharangambadi - History details
Erected in 1620 after Admiral Ove Gjedde’s treaty with Raghunatha Nayak of Thanjavur, this trapezoidal seaside stronghold became the Danish East India Company’s HQ on the Coromandel. It’s the second‑largest Danish fort after Kronborg and was sold to the British in 1845. Today a museum narrates Indo‑Danish trade, missions and maritime life.
