Discover the story behind the ambitious plans for a fortress city in South Jutland during the turbulent 17th century. Explore at your own pace with this interactive audio guide.

Step back in time to the 17th century, when Europe was gripped by wars and Jutland endured invasions, destruction, and rebuilding efforts. This self-guided audio tour reveals the fascinating tale of an ambitious fortress city project near Bersodde, strategically located in a swampy yet defensible area.

Learn about King Frederick III’s grand plans for a fortified city featuring canals, a harbor, and regal buildings. Despite the ideal location for defense, convincing settlers to move into the swampy terrain proved challenging, requiring the monarchy to employ both incentives and pressures.

Through five engaging stories, discover how this area’s military history shaped the landscape and its people. The tour, accessible on your phone, lasts approximately an hour, offering interactive elements like quizzes and narration to enhance the experience.
