Nissaryds skans

The Nissaryd redoubt was most likely constructed during the 1640s. It was commissioned by the Swedish Quartermaster general Olof Örnehufvud. The 17th century was marked by numerous conflicts between Sweden and Denmark, and several battles were fought on Hallandic soil. Halland was Danish at the time, but the coastal county was sought-after by the swedes. Today Halland is littered with remnants of these conflicts, in the form of redoubts, fortifications and mounds.
