Danmarksnagore, or Dannemarksnagore, was a Danish colony, Factory, and base on the Hooghly River in Bengal from 1698 to 1718. The colony was established by Andreas Andræ in 1698 as a result of the Dano-Mughal Treaty, and would stay as a Danish colony for roughly 20 years until it would be besieged by the Mughals in 1714.
