Guidebook for Halden
Sightseeing
Fredriksten fortress is the largest and most important of Norway’s border fortresses. Its construction started in 1661, just three years after the former Norwegian region of Bohuslän was lost to Sweden, and Halden became the new frontier.
The main fortress – known as 'the Citadel' – is built using quarrystone and it is a polygonal rampart fortress, whose irregular shape is due to its adept adaptation into a modern bastion fortress adjusted to the site's terrain. The conditions necessitated ordinary outworks on the field to the east, while the steep slope nearest the town served as a refuge area for the inhabitants of the town (Borgerskansen). Gyldenløve, Stortårnet and Overberget are free-s
