Nyborg - Landporten

On Torvet, north of the castle and marketin Nyborg, will be found the "Landporten" gatehouse, a 40m/130ft long building with an entrance gate. It was built in 1660 by Frederik III who, following the war with Sweden, strengthened the fortifications and extended the ramparts. At that time the Landporten was the only entrance to the town from the land side. Some of the ramparts still exist. Bells are rung at 9:45 each evening as a reminder of the time when the gate was closed at 10 pm.
