    The fortress was built in 1869-1879. It was supposed to protect the Prussians from hostile ships. There were no fights here.
    The pier was only built in 1926 as a loading ramp. At one time there was even a Hadag excursion restaurant - unfortunately dismantled in 1960.
    You can read the whole story on the website or visit the fortress from April to October ... Admission currently 2.00 EUR

      Not yet renovated, but absolutely worth seeing.

        The fortress has regular opening hours with guided tours. Besides there are special events! This weekend: At the time of the emperors. Pay attention to hints in the internet and in the press. Highly recommended is the Christmas market in the casemates for Advent!
