Flakfortet, Sea fort at Saltholmrev, Denmark
Located in the Øresund strait, Flakfortet stands on a constructed island with a height of 23 meters and covers 32,000 square meters of area.
The fortress, built between 1910 and 1914, formed part of Copenhagen's maritime defense system alongside Trekroner Fort and Middelgrundsfortet until military deactivation in 1968.
The fortress now hosts classical music performances and offers guided tours that detail the military architecture and defense strategies of early 20th century Denmark.
Five scheduled boat trips depart daily from Nyhavn during summer months, with a journey time of 40 minutes to reach the island fortress.
The construction employed reinforced concrete caissons, marking an early implementation of this engineering technique in Danish maritime infrastructure.
Location: Copenhagen Municipality
Part of: Fortifications of Copenhagen
