Torsberg Battery, Coastal fortification in Sandhamn, Sweden.
Four units of 30.5 cm coastal artillery howitzers form the defensive structure, positioned along the shoreline for maximum coverage of surrounding waters.
The military installation, established in 1932, strengthened Sweden's coastal defense network during a period of increasing international tensions in Europe.
The battery represents Swedish military engineering expertise and dedication to neutrality through maintaining strong defensive capabilities during the 20th century.
Visitors can reach the battery site via local roads, with designated parking areas available for those interested in exploring the fortification.
The battery retains its original gun emplacements and underground chambers, providing an authentic example of early 1900s coastal defense architecture.
