The province of Bohuslän became Swedish following the Roskilde Peace Treaty in 1658. Realising the strategic value of the port of Marstrand, King Charles X ordered the construction of fortifications and so the construction of the fortress began. It took about 200 years to complete. The fortress was built by convicts over the years. The most famous of these prisoners was Lasse-Maja - a kind of Swedish Robin Hood - who managed to escape from the fortress by disguising himself as a woman.

Excellent to visit also in winter from outside
We went there in december and it was closed inside but you can still see it from outside all around after a walking tour of the island. It is impressive and you have nice view of the sea from west side
