Whether we have been under Denmark or Sweden, or demanded our own independence and freedom, the fortress has always stood. Often besieged – never conquered, we are proud to pass on.
Throughout Northern Europe’s largest fortress complex, there are stories of heroism and sacrifice. The history is told in museums or through guides. At all the important locations, there is information with QR codes, which through vivid films tell what happened exactly where you are standing. In addition, Fredriksten Museum is worth a visit with its collection to tell the story in a vivid way.
The walking tour starts at 12:00 PM at the upper parking lot of the fortress. Upon check-in, you will receive a ticket to be presented at the meeting point for the historical walking tour.
When evening comes, the table is set in the restaurant for a delicious dinner. If you are out for an evening walk, a visit to the light show displayed every evening on the walls of the inner fortress is recommended.
