Christiansholm Festning played a key defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.
This history-filled fortress is one of the top sights in Kristiansand. But it's not the only spot worth visiting in the area. Once you've paid the entrance fee and spent some time at Christiansholm Festning, have a look at nearby Kristiansand Zoo, Aquarama Bad and Kristiansand Cathedral as well.
