Historic Christiansted Location
With a rich history, colorful Danish architecture and Caribbean charm, Christiansted has something to offer all travelers and explorers. The former capital of the Danish West Indies and home to the Christiansted National Historic Site, the downtown area is full of shops, restaurants, museums and historical sites, art galleries and water sports concessions. The cobblestone streets are filled with colorful buildings whose beautiful architecutural details have been lovingly restored.
The Christiansted National Historic Site features five historic structures from the 18th and 19th century including Fort Christianværn (1738), the Danish West India & Guinea Company Warehouse, (1749), the Steeple Building (1753), Danish Custom House (1844), the Scale House (1856). One block away is the impressive yellow structure known as the Government House.
The Steeple Building is an easy landmark to identify when in Christiansted. Head toward the Steeple and you’ll always find your way back to the Company House Hotel.
