The fortress is a fortification located on Oxdjupet, the entrance to Stockholm. The fortress consists of a tower, a beach fort, and courtyards. The fortress was part of the defensive works built on the Swedish east coast after the Russian devastation in 1719
to protect Stockholm. The fortress was completed in 1735.
At that time, it was one of the strongest fortresses in Europe.
