Elfsborg Fortress, Fortification on an island in Gothenburg harbor, Sweden
The stone fortress features high walls, multiple cannons, and a church building positioned strategically at the entrance of Gothenburg's waterway.
The New Älvsborg Fortress, constructed between 1653 and 1677, replaced the original structure and withstood a Danish naval attack in 1719.
The fortress represents Swedish military architecture from the 17th century and contains a preserved church with embedded cannonballs from past battles.
Visitors can access the fortress through boat services operating from Lilla Bommen in Gothenburg between May and September each year.
The fortress stones came from the Old Älvsborg Fortress, creating a physical connection between two different defensive structures from Swedish history.
