Kristiansten Fortress, Fort in Trondheim, Norway
Located on a hill east of Trondheim, Kristiansten Fortress contains a central defensive tower named Donjonen, which housed artillery and military operations.
The fortress prevented Swedish forces from conquering Trondheim in 1718 during their siege, forcing them to retreat under sustained defensive pressure.
The site includes an ecumenical chapel near the location where 23 Norwegian resistance members were executed during the Second World War.
Visitors can reach the fortress through multiple paths from Trondheim, with wheelchair access available throughout the main sections of the structure.
From the fortress walls, observers can spot a geological formation called strandlinja, marking ancient beaches and sea cliffs around Trondheim.
