Also well maintained but its being used as a residence so limits access. There is no guide here so you have to go round alonr
I was here on Nkrumah's Day (21st September) and we met some young men, one of whom led us in. However the guide/caretaker wasn't around, so we couldn't do a tour. The place hasn't been well kept like other forts/castles along the western coast and it doesn't look like the place has much to offer. However you're able to get good views of the sea, the Kar Power generation plant, the Sekondi fishing harbour, the naval base and the old township (European Town) from the top floor of the fort.
We chanced on Ebenezer Ansah who told me about the Fort. The sense of cruelty was felt. Today we stand freely to learn and to imagine what our forebears went through.
It a very historic landmark , was very excited .
Of historical importance but neglected now
