Tharangambadi (formerly Tranquebar) is, 15 km north of Karaikal, near the mouth of a distributary of the Kaveri River. It was a Danish colony from 1620 to 1845. When Danish people came, the place was under Thanjavur Nayak kingdom. Danish admiral Ove Gjedde felt the place would be a potential trading centre, made a deal with Raghunatha Nayak and built a fort, which is known as Fort Dansborg. This fort was the residence and headquarters of the governor and other officials for about 150 years. It is now a museum hosting a collection of artifacts from the colonial era.

Dansborg fort was constructed during 1620-21 and it played important role in South India’s trade with foreign countries for 200 years. This fort is now converted into museum and maintained by Tamilnadu Archaeological department
