Nya Älvsborg Fortress

Nya Älvsborg Fortress, situated on an island at the mouth of the Gota River, was constructed in the 17th century to defend Gothenburg from Danish invaders. Despite its small size, the fortress is one of Sweden’s best-preserved sea fortifications, with a history marked by battles, sieges, and bombardments.
