Exploring Fort Frederik in Frederiksted, St. Croix: A Historic Caribbean Landmark

If you’re visiting St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, and want to experience a fascinating piece of Caribbean history, Fort Frederik in Frederiksted is a must-see. Also known as Fort Frederiksted and Frederiksfort, this mid-18th-century Danish masonry fort sits right on the waterfront at the western end of the island, just steps from the Frederiksted cruise port.

In our latest video, we explore the grounds of Fort Frederik, taking in the striking red walls, brick-paved courtyard, sea battery, and historic interior spaces. The fort offers breathtaking views of the deep water bay and is easy to reach for cruise visitors looking for a quick and meaningful stop.

Inside the fort, you’ll find historic rooms that once served as kitchens, detention cells, and the commandant’s quarters, all surrounding a brick-paved courtyard. Its rich history reflects the Danish colonial era and several significant events that shaped the island.
