Carlstad 1658-1660

Photograph at the Carlstad 1658-1660 Memorial

During the 1659 siege of Copenhagen, Swedish forces under King Charles X Gustav established a temporary fortified town named Carlstad. At its most populous, this settlement was substantial, comparable in size to the Danish capital it faced. The inhabitants were mainly military personnel and their dependents, reflecting the temporary nature of its existence amid the conflict.
