Bohus Fortress

Highlight • Castle

In the Middle Ages, Bohus Fortress was considered one of the largest, most massive and impregnable fortresses in Northern Europe. The fortress was the southernmost border fortress in Norway, built in 1308 by the Norwegian King Håkon V. Magnusson. The fortress is located on a 40 metre high cliff on the island of Bagaholmen. At that time, Bagaholmen was surrounded by the River Göta and lay at the intersection of the three neighbouring kingdoms (Norway to the west, Sweden to the east and Denmark to the south). From the fortress there was good control over shipping on the river.

Bohus Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins are a nice destination or a great stopover. The old walls have a lot to tell, sometimes with bloodthirsty history, as the fortress was located in a strategically important place at the time. So both the Swedes and the Danes and Norwegians were interested in it and besieged it again and again.

The fortress can be visited. The exact opening times can be found on the castle website: bohusfastning.com/de/visit-us/fuhrung.
