Did you know that ...
... Fredericia got its ramparts because the town was founded as a royal fortress town in 1650?
Fredericia was founded by King Frederik III as a new fortress town meant to protect Denmark from attack and strengthen the country’s defence in Jutland. The ramparts around the town were built as a military structure with bastions, moats and gates as part of the modern defence system of the time. Later, the ramparts also played an important role in the Battle of Fredericia on 6 July 1849, when the fortress became a key Danish stronghold. Today, the ramparts are one of the things that make Fredericia truly unique in Denmark.
