Located just south of Dalarö, the Dalarö fortress is a fortification where the current structure was built by Charles X Gustav of Sweden in 1656. It was built to replace an older structure dating back to 1623.
The fortress underwent significant renovations between 1683 and 1698 by Erik Dahlbergh. Throughout its history, the fortress has never been under siege, and Russian forces avoided the site in 1719.
After being decommissioned by the military in 1854, the building was repurposed. Today, the fortress serves as a museum and contains a restaurant for visitors to enjoy.
