The town owes them to its proximity to Sweden, a powerful neighbor with an expansionist streak. Here, you can admire the fortifications and the Fredriksten fortress, built around 1660 in the shape of a star after the French model of the time. The town is home to a number of cutting-edge industries, including submarine cables and pipelines. The surrounding countryside is rich in natural beauty.
