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.

Its walls are all fireproof since the building was made out of bricks and other kinds of stones instead of wood. Those stones were believed to be quarried from Europe. Its sand floor is another of its most interesting features. Many legends say that this is the very path that Moses and his children walked for the whole 40 years.

Consistent restorations were being made to the place and by 1995 to around 1996, there was a tiny museum that was added to the synagogue. It was named after Johnny Weibel who was a congregation member. The said museum displays the history of the congregation and some of the rest of the Jewish history spread on the island.
