Älvsborg Fortress

[2] The fort, which is immersed in the basement, encompasses space for 300 people and consists of several hundred meters of walkways with offices, lodgings, messes and stores.

[2] On King Albert I of Belgium's arrival and departure from Gothenburg in connection with the visit of the then Crown Prince Leopold's wedding to Princess Astrid on 4 November 1926, a greeting was fired from Älvsborg Fortress.

[4] Prior to the threatening foreign policy situation, the fortress was put in the defensive state in the fall of 1939.

Oscar II's Fort lost its guns in 1939-1940 with the exception of the Götiska batteriet, when they were moved to the main defense line on the outskirts of Gothenburg archipelago.

Due to a significant deterioration of the internal passages and spaces, the fortress was completely disbanded during the 1970s.
