An old citadel that was once integrated into the city fortifications, still under military control today, but at least open to the public from the outside

The fort, built according to Pietro Cataneo's ideal design, occupies the site of a rampart built at the harbor entrance in 1625 under King Christian IV. The loss of land east of the Øresund in 1658 increased the fort's strategic importance. The contract for its expansion was awarded to the Dutchman Henrik Ruse, who had previously participated in the expansion of the Harburg Fortress. The expansion was completed in 1667, but subsequent reconstructions were repeated. In 1892, the eastern part of the fortress was ceded to the city of Copenhagen, which had a road and railway line built through the fort. Extensive renovations took place after 1945.
