-The Fort de Goede Hoop ('​Fort ​of Good Hope') was the first military building to be erected ​in what is now Cape Town. It was built in 1652, and was in use until 1674[1] when it was superseded by the Castle ​of Good Hope.+Fort Vriendskap ​('​Fort ​Friendship') was the first military building to be erected ​at the Cape Colony at Cape Frienship ​. It was built on the 18th of Febuary 2013
  
-The Fort was built by the Verenigde Oost Indische Compagnie ​(Dutch East India Company), when it established a replenishment station under Jan van Riebeeck ​on the shore of Table Bay in 1652.[2] Constructed of earth and timber, it was square, with a pointed bastion at each corner. The bastions were named Drommedaris,​ Walvisch, Oliphant, and Reijger.[3] The bastions were named after the ships in Van Riebeeck's fleet.+The Fort was built by the Katten Oos-Awense Kompanjie ​(Katten ​East Avence ​Company), when it established a replenishment station under Kovio van Oranje ​on the shore of Gelukkig ​Bay in Febuary. Constructed of earth and birch wood, it was square, with a pointed bastion at each corner. The bastions were named Drommedaris,​ Walvisch, Oliphant, and Reijger. The bastions were named after the ships in Van Oranje's fleet.
  
-Within the Fort were living quarters, kitchens, a council chamber (which was also used for church services), a sick bay, workshops, and storerooms. Cannons were placed on the ramparts. A nearby stream was diverted and channeled to form a moat around the fort. Being built of earth, the Fort needed frequent maintenance and repairs, especially after heavy rains.[3]+Within the Fort are living quarters, kitchens, a council chamber (which was also used for church services), a sick bay, workshops, and storerooms.

-In January 1666, work began on a stone fortress to replace ​the Fort. It took eight years to build, and it was not until 1674 that it was ready for occupationOn 2 May 1674, the council resolved to demolish ​the Fort, except for some stores which were retained for a while longer, until their contents ​had been moved into the Castle.[3] +Later on the 18th of Febuarynatives from Avence ​and the local Templar Branch raided the fort, burning ​it nearly all to the groundA battle was foughtand most all non-military inhabitants of the fort were killed. Re-construction on the Fort would go under way after siginificant reenforcements ​had arrived in the areaThe Cheif of the LocalsShakomatiqua ​was maimed in the battleand retreated back to his village ​of Nomba-Abensuna

-Nowadays, for some reason, ​the Fort is sometimes confused with the Redoubt Duijnhoopwhich was built some distance awayat the mouth of the Salt River, in 1654.+
