Marstrand

Marstrand lies beside the narrow strait between Marstrandsön and Koön on the Bohuslän coast, a maritime position that has shaped it as a harbour town and sailing centre. The surrounding archipelago opens towards the Kattegat, while compact lanes cross the island settlement. Carlstens fästning rises above the harbour: begun in 1658 after Bohuslän became Swedish, the stone fortress was enlarged over more than a century and remains Marstrand’s defining landmark. Summer brings busy quays, bathing rocks and an active boating scene, yet the sea and fortress set the town’s character throughout the year.
