About the fortress

Akershus

During its more than 700-year history, the fortress has been besieged more than once, but has never been captured by enemy forces. Today, this landmark, located in the heart of Oslo, turns into a park with green oaks in summer, while continuing to remain a military fortress under the administration of Akershus kommandantskap.
