Battle of Køge Bay 1710, Naval battle site in Køge Bay, Denmark
The naval engagement between Denmark-Norway and Sweden involved 26 Danish ships of the line against 21 Swedish vessels in the Baltic waters.
On October 4, 1710, during the Great Northern War, the Danish ship Dannebroge exploded, resulting in 541 casualties from its 550-member crew.
The Ivar Huitfeldt Column stands as a memorial structure in Køge, commemorating the naval commanders and sailors who participated in this conflict.
The battle location near Copenhagen provides visitors with access to multiple historical naval sites and maritime museums in the surrounding region.
Weather conditions during the battle caused two Swedish ships, Tre Kronor and Prinsessan Ulrika Eleonora, to run aground in the shallow waters.
