Fort Grossfriedrichsburg
This fort is in good condition, has a german-dutch-british history. Built by the early Prussians of Brandenburg, Germany, it is situated beautifully, overlooking the beach, the sea and Princestown. We don’t know of any other Castle in Ghana that offers accomodation for visitors who’d like to spend the night.

The lagoon is sacred.
On Thursdays, no tours are possible.

getting there

bus/tro-tro: if you are starting from Kumasi or Accra, make sure that you will leave early in the morning, around 7:00 am.
from Accra: take a bus from Kaneshie to Takoradi.
from Kumasi: take a bus from Asafo to Takoradi.
in Takoradi: Get off at the roundabout/filling station/Asempa Hotel. From there walk to the Accra/Aflao tro-tro station to take a tro-tro to Agona.
Should you arrive in Agona after sunset, it may be difficult to get a tro-tro to Princestown. You may decide to get off at the roundabout and spend the night at LA BONITA Hotel. The location on Google Maps is not very precise. Ask one of the locals!
From Agona tro-tro station there is a direct connection to Princestown.
Please, in older sources you may read that the road to Princestown is in poor condition – this is no longer the case. The road has recently been tarred and is in a very good condition.
