Skansen Kronan
Skansen Kronan, Gothenburg, SwedenTel: +46 31 145 000
The Skansen Krona fortress was built in 1641. The fortress' main purpose was to scare off the Danes, and it was also known as Juteskramman (the Dane Scare). It was completed in 1695. Skansen Krona is built on a hill and therefore commands a grand view of the central parts of Gothenburg. The tower ornament is in the shape of a crown, hence the name (krona means crown). Today, the fort houses a military museum. To get there take trams 1, 3, 4 or 9 to Hagakyrkan and walk across Haga. To reach the fort, you have a few options. You can walk up a very steep stairway from Frigangsgatan in Haga, take a sloping footpath from Skanstorget, or use the road/footpath from Lilla Risasgatan.
