Kastrup Fortress, Military fortress in Copenhagen, Denmark
The gray stone walls of Kastrup Fortress stand along the Danish coastline, featuring strategic artillery positions and thick defensive structures built for coastal protection.
Construction of Kastrup Fortress began in 1887 as part of Copenhagen's defensive network, designed to guard against naval attacks during a period of military modernization.
The fortress represents Danish military engineering from the late 19th century, demonstrating the period's defensive architecture through its strategic design and construction methods.
Visitors can reach Kastrup Fortress through public transportation, with regular bus services stopping near the entrance and connecting to central Copenhagen stations.
The fortress spans across both Tårnby and Copenhagen municipalities, making it a distinctive structure that connects two administrative regions of the Danish capital.
