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.

The fortress represents Danish military engineering from the late 19th century, demonstrating the period's defensive architecture through its strategic design and construction methods.
