stormy day at Flekkerøy - a photo on Flickriver

            Since the 15th century, Flekkerøy was an important harbour along the Skagerrak, and since 1540 it has been considered as the most important outport in the whole region of Southern Norway. 
In 1555, the first fortifications were built, but it was torn down in 1561. In the early 17th century, the harbour again became of strategic importance, and in 1635 the island was visited by King Christian IV who decided to build the Christiansø Fortress to protect the harbour. 
In 1656, a new fortress called Fredriksholm was built, and Christiansø soon decayed.

In 1807, about 250 people lived on the island, and in September 1807, English ships anchored at the harbour. 
The local people fled, Fredriksholm fortress was blown up, and the island was pillaged. In 1848, a cannon battery was built, but in 1872 it was abandoned, and in 1874 the partially rebuilt Fredriksholm fortress was also closed down for good. wikipedia
