Korsør Fæstning

The fortification features a preserved medieval tower from 1241, surrounded by defensive walls and several historical military buildings within the complex.

During the Swedish occupation of Korsør between 1658 and 1660, the occupying forces ordered the construction of earthen ramparts around the fortress area.

The Store Magasin building, constructed around 1610 under King Christian IV, houses the Korsør City and Strait Crossing Museum on its first floor.

The Local Historical Archive for Korsør, located in the Commander's House from the 1720s, provides research facilities for genealogy and regional history studies.

The red-painted half-timbered house opposite the tower, built in 1826 for storing cannon carriages, now contains the Marine Association's historical collections.
