The green embankments, surrounding our park are the remains of a fortress, Färjestadens Skans. You are indeed in "the middle of history”, here at Hotel Skansen. The fortress is from the early 17th century and was then called "Kråkeskärs Skans". It probably played an important part at the time of the Danish invasion 1611. Around 1700 a district-courthouse was constructed inside the fortress.The buildings you see today were built 1811, and while they originally served as a courthouse, they have since 1901 been a hotel.
