The Battle of Hjerpe Skans took place during the Dano-Swedish War, from 1808 to 1809, consisting of two different assaults.

[1][2][verification needed] On August 16th, 1808, an army of 644 Norwegian troops attacked a Hjerpe redoubt.

The army was led by Captain Døbeln og von Krogh.

Norwegian forces occupied the now-abandoned fort and promptly demolished it one week later on 23 July 1809.

The war between Sweden and Denmark-Norway ended on 25 July 1809, and the Norwegian forces left the area four days later.
