Christiansholm Fortress is located in the south of Norway and is part of the city of Kristiansand
The region of today's Kristiansand was probably already populated in the Stone Age. The city was officially founded in 1641 by King Kristian IV. In 1666, Kristiansand became a garrison town and 16 years later it also became a bishop's seat.
Christiansholm Fortress, built in 1672, is located on an island that is now connected to the mainland.

The fortress was finished in 1672 and formed a part of King Christian IV's plan for defense of Kristiansand when the city was founded in 1641. The architect of the fortress was quartermaster general Willem Coucheron. It was built on an islet, about 100 yards from shore. Today the fortress is connected to the mainland.
