In front of Denmark's bastion lies the best-preserved ravelin of the fortress. Ravelines were built outside the city gates to protect this weak point from attack and to camouflage the gate to make it difficult for an outside enemy to enter the city.

The memorial to Colonel Niels Christian Lunding was made by the sculptor Andreas Paulsen
manufactured. Lunding deserved credit for this memorial by getting the entire fort battle-ready in just three months in 1849. This achievement must be appreciated against the background that the fortifications had not been maintained for more than 100 years.
It was the same Lunding who in 1863 was given the task of preparing the rampart for battle before the Second Schleswig War in 1864, when the fortress was besieged for the last time.

The 1899 memorial honors Colonel Lunding, who was commander-in-chief at Fredericia in the battles of 1849 and 1864.
