Fort Prinzenstein, Keta

Keta, Keta · Volta

A Danish slave-trade fort at Keta, now partly sunk into the sand and eroding into the sea beside the lagoon.

The local tip

The fort is visibly losing ground to the sea, so see it while you can; the caretaker tells the erosion story better than any sign.

Check before leaving

Confirm site access, which is affected by coastal erosion and tide.
