It was built by Danish traders in 1784 for defensive purposes after the Sagbadre war against the Anlo Ewe and to keep the area safe from other colonial powers. The majority of the materials, especially the stone used for the building of the fort, came from Accra. The fort is among the four major structures that were built by the Danish. The fort significantly played an important part in the slave trade, which involved Europeans in West Africa. Aside from the slave trade, the fort served as an active purpose in the trade of imported and exported goods such as gold and ivory in a give-and-take for musketss, brandy, iron rods, textiles, cowries shells etc.
