English: Fort Vredenburg in Komenda (literally: "Peace Fortress"; also: "Dutch-Kommendah" or similarly) was built by the Dutch in 1688 on the spot of an former Dutch factory (existed 1659-1681) in the vicinity to a British fort existed since 1672. The reason for the fortification was the protection of the Dutch trading post in regard to expected clashes with the British (short time later outbreak of the English-Dutch-French Sea War (1688)) and to can meet better with possible hostilities of the native Eguafo's (who had destroyed the Dutch factory in 1681). Fort Vredenburg existed until 1781 as it was destroyed (blusted) by the British.
