Älvsborgs Nya Fästning is located on an island at the harbour entrance. It was built in the 1600s, and completed in 1660. With a fortress in the harbour entrance and military batteries on Hising island, Gothenburg was very well fortified against enemy troops. The fortress itself has a very interesting history. It has also been used as a prison, and there are old prison cells that you are allowed to visit. There is also a chapel on the island, very popular for weddings. To get here take the ferry from Lilla Bommen. The ride takes about 30 minutes. You buy the ferry ticket in Kajskjul 207 at Lilla Bommen. A tour of the fortress and island is included in the ticket price. For departure times, check the website.
