Right next to Christiansted boardwalk and Fort Christiansvaern. When inside some signage and historic information for viewing. The grounds are well kept and you can sit in the beautiful gazebo and view the ocean. Around the Customs House and fort there are many benches for sitting, paved sidewalks and trees for shade. I went on a Tuesday and the doors were closed, but then went on Thursday for a walking tour and the doors were open. I recommend for anyone interested in the history of the island or in Denmark. I do wish it was open more consistently.

This is a great stop if you are interested in the history of the island. There is also the Fort in the same area and I would recommend both while visiting. There is signage which explains the history of the Danish, how the structures were build and how the government was run back in the early days.

The customs house was located near Fort Christiansted. It was not open for touring. Nice grounds around the area.

Another structure in the historic area but was all boarded up when we were there. Not much information is available at the site. The grounds are attractive and provide a nice view of the water

We visited St. Croix for 2 weeks and visited the fort and Custom's House several times. Very good history of the island and it's culture and people. Lot's about the sugar trade and slavery.

The Old Danish Customs House is another one of the Must see Historic Sites in Downtown Christiansted that you must see.
Not Always open, but the tour of the Old Danish Customs House might be included with the Guided Tour of the Fort right next-door...

Close to the fort. Well maintained yellow building. The grounds are all well kept up. Nice shaded areas close by to sit down and cool down under the hot sun

I've climbed these steps so many times as a young child, teenager and now as an adult. Wish the building could speak and tell me all the history. Makes me proud to be born and raised on this beautiful island. Please, visit.
