The fortified town of Fredrikstad was one of the most important strongholds between Bohus Fortress (Båhus, today Sweden) and Akerhus Castle (Oslo) in the Middle Ages. During the Hannibal feud (part of the 30-year war, also known as the Torstensson War), the city was expanded into a fortress city, initially with simple earth walls and moats. The fortress has been repeatedly rebuilt and expanded over the centuries and has been preserved to this day. The city is located on the east bank of the river and also serves to control the Glomma River. The outworks Isegran (1657), Cicignon (1677) and Kongsten (1682-85) were added later. Isegran and Cicignon lay on the west bank of the river. The Kongsten was built on a rock to the east of the city.

Frederikstad is a well-preserved former fortress town from the time of the great Nordic wars.

Today it is a tranquil tourist destination.
