Description: Skansen Kronan is a former defense facility in the middle of the Haga district. Skansen was built 1687–1700 according to drawings by Erik Dahlbergh. When the fortress was commissioned, it had 23 cannons and was equipped for war, but it was never subjected to any enemy attacks. During the 19th century, the redoubt became a prison and then emergency housing. During the 20th century it was a military museum with weapons and uniforms. In Skansen Kronan's unique Kanonsal, weddings, parties, conferences and Christmas parties are arranged with a panoramic view of Gothenburg.
