Krudttårnet in Frederikshavn – Silver Charm and Silver Bracelet
In Krudttårnet, the Coastal Museum’s exhibition about Frederikshavn harbor is shown and you can see the cannons at the top of the tower,
where the mighty wooden structure that carries the roof is also an impressive experience.
The gunpowder tower was the central structure in the citadel (fortress) Fladstrand, which was built in the late 17th century.
In addition to the function of storing gunpowder, the tower was also used as a platform for cannons.
Also during the Cannon Boat War against England (1807-14) the citadel had central value.
On the one hand, Danish merchant ships sought refuge against the English navy under the gunpowder tower’s cannons, and on the other hand,
Fladstrand was used as a base and regional headquarters for gunboats between their attacks on British ships
