		Tranquebar [Danish: Trankebar] is a small coastal town in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu, some 270 km south of the city of Madras.
		In 1620 Tranquebar was chosen by the Danish East India Company for the foundation of "Dansborg Fort”, which became the most important outpost of Danish trade and culture in India until the colony was eventually sold to the British India Company in 1845.
		Tranquebar was settled by the Danes during 235 years, and two centuries of Danish heritage have left an important cultural heritage that can still be seen today in colonial houses, churches, cemeteries, and most particularly, the Dansborg military fort.
