Description
Since the 16th century, the Pålsundet sound has been protected from invasions by fortifications. Historically, along the sea route from Vaxholm to Stockholm, ships had to pass by rows of driven piles in order to reach the city. In the early 18th century, this fortification was further strengthened with the addition of a cannon battery with four cannons. It was located where the base of the bridge stands today, on the Bogesund side. The current appearance of the battery dates back to the 1870s.
While taking a break at the picnic area at the top of the old battery, you can enjoy a view of the ruins, the Pålsundet sound and Vaxön island across the way.
