Fredrikshamns skans built in 1645

Fredrikshamns skans is a fortification on Hisingen. It protected a bridgehead for a temporary bridge that was struck by Norwegian troops over to the Swedish side, the eastern side of the river.

The sconce was built in 1645 during Hannibal Sehested's attempts to attack Göteborg during the final stages of Hannibalsfejden.

This archaeological site and fortification remain as a physical record of the military movements and defensive structures of the 17th century.
