when was the castle of good hope built
Castle of Good Hope The Castle of Good Hope (Dutch: Kasteel de Goede Hoop; Afrikaans: Kasteel van Goeie Hoop) is a bastion fort built in the 17th century in Cape Town, South Africa. Originally located on the coastline of Table Bay, following land reclamation the fort is now located inland.[1][2] In 1936 the Castle was declared a historical monument (now a provincial heritage site) and following restorations in the 1980s it is considered the best preserved example of a Dutch East India Company fort.[3]
