Well preserved structure that gives us a peek into the past. Dating back to the mid 18th century, this fort was a vital part of the island defense. Admission is cheap and the tour is self-guided. A nice view of the harbor from the ramparts. This site is wonderful and full of local history. Very nice historical landmark. Clean. Easy to navigate and informative. Beautiful view from the top.

Fort Frederik is a mid-eighteenth century Danish masonry fort located at the north end of Frederiksted, on the western end of St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands. It is also known as Fort Frederiksted and Frederiksfort. The fort was built to protect Danish colonial interests in the Caribbean and the western end of St. Croix against incursions by other colonial powers, prevent smuggling, protect shipping in the Frederiksted harbor from pirates and privateers, and maintain order among the colony’s enslaved people. The Fort is located overlooking a deep water bay. Before the Dutch purchased St. Croix from the French, earlier colonists had established a small fortification at this location, The gun battery was used to deter privateers and pirates from using this place as a landing site from which they could travel inland and attack the settlements.
