Fredriksten Description
On the high ground to the east of Halden stands the fortress of Fredriksten (alt. 113m/370ft; fine views), built in 1661-71. An iron pyramid (erected 1860) commemorates King Charles XII of Sweden, who was killed during the siege of the town in 1718. Here too is the Municipal Museum (Haldens Minner).
