Fort Dansborg (Danish: Dansborg), locally called Danish Fort (Tamil: டேனியக் கோட்டை, romanized: Ṭēṉiyak kōṭṭai), is a Danish fort located in the shores of Bay of Bengal in Tranquebar (Tharangambadi) in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Fort Dansborg was built in the land ceded by Thanjavur king Ragunatha Nayak in an agreement with Danish Admiral Ove Gjedde in 1620 and acted as the base for Danish settlement in the region during the early 17th century.

  • Dansborg är en befästning i södra Indien, i den gamla danska kolonin Tharangambadi (1620–1845). Befästningen byggdes av skåningen Ove Gjedde 1620, som också hade kommandot över Asiatisk Kompagni, som hade som ändamål att skaffa Danmark en del av österns rikedomar. Dansborg byggdes för att säkra de 20 000–30 000 borgarnas trygghet och tillit. Befästningen var danskarnas näst största (efter Kronborg). Danskarnas makt över Tranquebar och Dansborg upphörde när kolonin 1845 såldes till England. Idag används befästningen som museum. Wikimedia Commons har media relaterad till Dansborg. (sv)
