The old Norwegian town of Kungah\u00e4lla was Norway's southernmost outpost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the early 14th century, a power struggle broke out between King Birger of Sweden and his brothers, Dukes Erik and Valdemar. Erik was married to the Norwegian princess Ingeborg, and therefore had strong ties to Norway. His marriage gave him access to the castle of Ragnhildsholmen, located on an island opposite Kungah\u00e4lla. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-stora-banners-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-2155144618\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-2740122465\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/wifi.se\/produkt\/hybrid-traveller-portabel-5g-router-med-backup-batteri-i-over-6-timmar-usb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"freedom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/freedom.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"288\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Bohus f\u00e4stning\" class=\"wp-image-119628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hj\u00e4lmar.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erik and Valdemar soon controlled large parts of western Sweden, and the conflicts led to historic events such as the 'H\u00e5tuna Games' and the 'Nyk\u00f6ping Feast' in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2021\/04\/nykopingshus\/\">Nyk\u00f6pingshus<\/a>. Neither king wanted Erik and Valdemar to have too much power, and the Norwegian king Haakon V Magnusson tried to withdraw Ragnhildsholmen castle. When Erik refused, a siege of the castle began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Swedish Erik Chronicle, it was Count Jacob Nielsen who in 1308 urged the King of Norway to build a fortress on the high cliff where the G\u00f6ta River divides. Now Bohus took over as Norway's southernmost outpost.<\/p><div class=\"freed-placering-11 freed-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"freed-2202777613\"><div

sieges, but the most famous must be the one known as the 'Bahusian Battle'. In 1566, the Swedes took the fortress, and it went so well that they even managed to raise the Swedish flag on the Red Tower. Then one of the Norwegians chose to sacrifice his life and crawled under the tower with gunpowder. The Swedes died instantly and the siege was a failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"119622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/D\u00f6rr-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"119623\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ing\u00e5ng.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-id=\"119621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-1024x575.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4-1200x674.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bohus-f\u00e4stning-4.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bohus-fastning-blev-svensk\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bohus_fastning_blev_svensk\"><\/span>Bohus Fortress became Swedish<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Peace of Roskilde in 1658, Bohusl\u00e4n became Swedish, and thus Bohus Fortress became part of Sweden. However, this did not mean that peaceful times awaited. The worst siege ever took place in the summer of 1678, when 15 000 Danes and Norwegians subjected 800 Swedish and Finnish defenders to massive attacks over two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the last moment, Swedish reinforcements arrived and the enemy had to surrender. The fortress was now largely destroyed, and it was rebuilt without regaining its former glory. It was later mostly used as a prison, but it was realised that an unguarded fortress could do more harm than good and in 1789 it was decided that the fortress would be demolished. <\/p><div class=\"freed-stor-banner-plats-14 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1249370059\"><div id=\"freed-slider-88782\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-3864449602 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-2712509707\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale 588x588px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Demoutforsaljning-588x588px-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1475910984\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/husbilar\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"sun living 70\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--224x224.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--12x12.jpg 12w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--325x325.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--520x520.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/sunliving-70--120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"588\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider3864449602 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-3864449602\" );$freedslider3864449602.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" );

He refused to repent and died in the fortress at the age of 77. His cell still exists and can be visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"119615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4-433x243.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-4.jpg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"119616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"119614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/F\u00e4ngelse-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-aktiviteter-i-fastningen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aktiviteter_i_fastningen\"><\/span>Activities in the fortress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the fortress grounds there is a small pond, which you can cross by pulling yourself across with a small rope ferry.
