The Fort Christian Museum was founded in 1680 with the purpose of defending the Danish settlements. This is considered a National Historic Landmark and considered to be the oldest building to be of use in St. Thomas.
It also became the governor’s residence, a worship place and even a police station. But now, it is held as a museum. It was in 1600 when the Danish government occupied the tiny island. This very US National Landmark is the one which protected the entire town from various pirates and other European armed conquerors.
The fort was said to be under constant renovation as to maintain its uniqueness. So before heading there, better check out the net for more information about the place.
