Saltholm Batteri, Military fortification on Saltholm, Denmark.

The concrete fortification structure stands on flat terrain near the water's edge, featuring angular walls designed for enhanced defensive capabilities.

The Danish military authorities constructed Saltholm Batteri in 1912 as part of a network of coastal defenses to protect maritime routes.

The fortification represents early 20th-century Danish military architecture and maintains protected status as an ancient monument within Tårnby Municipality.

Visitors can reach the fortification by boat services operating from Copenhagen to Saltholm island, which requires advance planning for transportation.

The battery's position on Saltholm, an island rising only 2 meters above sea level, made it instrumental in monitoring maritime activities in the Øresund Strait.
