Fort of Drottningskär, Military fortress and museum in Karlskrona, Sweden.
The citadel contains four bastions named after Swedish queens Kristina, Hedvig, Maria, and Ulrika, with a central donjon housing naval artillery.
Swedish military engineer Erik Dahlbergh supervised the construction of Drottningskär Citadel between 1687 and 1692 to protect the Karlskrona naval base.
The fortress museum exhibits military artifacts, maritime collections, and detailed information about Swedish coastal defense systems from the 17th century.
The museum operates seasonally with guided tours available in multiple languages, and visitors can reach the citadel by boat from Karlskrona harbor.
During the Russo-Swedish War, Catherine the Great mentioned this fortress in her diary, referring to it as the obstacle that prevented her military plans.
