Rindö Redoubt, Military fort in Vaxholm, Sweden
The Rindö Redoubt stands on the northern point of Rindö island, featuring strategic cannon positions overlooking the Vaxholm coastal inlet waterways.
Constructed between 1859 and 1864, the fortification supported Vaxholm Castle in protecting Stockholm's northern maritime approaches against potential naval invasions.
The fort exemplifies Swedish military engineering of the 1800s, demonstrating the nation's commitment to protecting its territorial waters through strategic fortifications.
Visitors can reach the redoubt via a 5-minute ferry ride from Vaxholm to Rindö island, with regular boat services operating throughout the day.
The fortification's elevated position provided gunners with a 180-degree field of fire across the water, supporting the main defensive structure at Vaxholm Castle.
