This fort was build by a Dutch private investor group called the VOC, one of the first MNCs ever. Their only goal was Big money, which they extracted from the labour of poor Indians, Sri Lankans but also Dutch sailors. Due to their ships being bigger and better armed they managed to exploit the world outside Europe. Their main competitors were the the English EIC and the French Compagnie des Indes orientales.

You got to seriously improve your pronunciation - Ancient, Toms, chamber, desolate, hexagonal, dilapidation, heritage. Please check google pronunciation not American pronunciation.
