Oskar-Fredriksborg Fortress

The military fortification stands on Rindö Island, featuring defensive structures designed to control maritime access through the Stockholm archipelago waterways.

Constructed between 1867 and 1877, the fortress served as a strategic defense point to protect Stockholm from potential naval attacks through Oxdjupet passage.

The fortress represents Swedish military engineering developments of the 19th century through its architectural design and strategic positioning in the archipelago.

Visitors can reach the fortress by following the coastal road on Rindö Island, with regular ferry connections available from Vaxholm and Stockholm.

The fortress includes specialized artillery positions and underground chambers specifically constructed to withstand naval bombardment from the Baltic Sea.
