Fredericia Ramparts

The ramparts form a continuous 3.5-kilometer defensive structure with earthen walls, bastions, and ditches surrounding the city of Fredericia.

Built in the late 17th century, these fortifications witnessed a major battle in 1849 when Danish forces defeated Schleswig-Holstein troops during a night attack.

The Valiant Soldier monument stands within the ramparts as a memorial to the soldiers who defended Denmark during the Second Schleswig War.

Visitors can access multiple walking paths throughout the ramparts, with informational signs from Fredericia Museum explaining the historical significance of different sections.

The ramparts represent one of Denmark's most complete star-shaped fortification systems, integrating military architecture with modern urban recreational spaces.
