The New Elfsborg fortress has an exciting history which extends over a period of nearly 400 years. It was built as a protection against the Danes after a legendary attack on Gothenburg in 1644. The fortress served its purpose, and resisted heavy bombardment in the late 18th century. It was subsequently converted to a 'bomb-safe monastery' and later a prison. Today it is a popular excursion and sightseeing destination.
