Skansen Kronan, Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden
Skansen Kronan is a fortress situated on the hill Risåsberget in the Haga district. It was designed by Erik Dahlberg and completed in 1697.
When Skansen Kronan was finished it had 23 canons and was ready for battle, but was never attacked by enemies. During the 19th century it turned into a prison and later on an emergency residency. During the 20th century it was a military museum.
There is also a summer café serving home-made ice-cream, pastrys and more. Newly renovated and decorated in 19th century style.
