Fredriksborg Fortress, Coastal fortress in Värmdö, Sweden
The fortress contains a beach structure with a cannon tower by the water and an Oxdjupet tower positioned on a higher plateau for defense.
Built in 1735 under King Frederick I of Sweden, the fortress housed 86 cannons and provided accommodation for 2,000 soldiers during military operations.
The fortress maintains two restored 18th-century officers' residences that now function as part of the Fredriksborg Hotel and Restaurant complex.
Guided tours operate daily from May to September, while visits outside the summer season require advance arrangements for interior access.
From the observation tower, visitors can see across the waters of the archipelago all the way to Stockholm's central districts.
