The Alte Feste (Old Fortress) is a fortress and museum in downtown Windhoek, Namibia. Set on a hill above the city, the Fort was built during the German occupation of Namibia and is the oldest standing building in the city. It was home to the Schutztruppe (colonial military) of Germany during the occupation. Colonial Windhoek was developed around the Fort.[1]
