    Vientiane, Laos?

    (I did not search and I do not know ... but it looks like a poorish southeast Asian country on some sort of a canal or waterway between that wall and the buildings shown).

    Wrong country but you're not too far. And you're right about some sort of a canal.

    It was built in 17th century renovated not long ago and open to tourists now.

    Is it actually a canal or is it more like a moat? Was it built by the Dutch? Or the Portuguese?

    Well when you look at the world map it doesn't look too far from Laos but still more than one thousand miles! It is also in Asia.

    That's correct, well done!

    Fort Dansborg is a Danish fort located in the shores of Bay of Bengal in Tharangambadi in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the second largest Danish fort after Kronborg. The Fort was built in the land of the local king in an agreement with Danish Admiral in 1620 and acted as the base for Danish settlement in the region during the early 17th century. The fort was sold to the British in 1845 and along with Tharangambadi, the fort lost its significance as the town was not an active trading post for the British. After India's independence in 1947, the fort was used as an inspection bungalow by the state government till 1978 when the Department of Archaeology, Government of Tamil Nadu took over the control of the fort. The fort is now used as a museum where the major artifacts of the fort and the Danish empire are displayed.
    It was renovated in modern times with the help of the Danish royal family and now is one of the prominent tourist destinations in the region.
