6 Landmark Skansen Lejonet 1692-

Take a look in my album Gothenburg !

Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony in 1621. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years`War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the river Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.

The fortress Skansen Lejonet (built 1687-1693) and its twin tower Skansen Kronan (built 1687-1700) were built to protect the city of Gothenburg against possible Danish attack, and thus had a similar purpose to the seafort New Älvsborg, which was built around the same time.
