Stavern is a small but very cozy and beautiful town located on the banks of the Oslo fjord. Until 1930 it was called Fredriksvern and was an important naval base in Norway.
Also nearby on the island is Staverns Fortress. Construction of the fort began in 1677 when Ulrich Friedrich Gyldenløve built a blockhouse with a cannon battery and a stockade on the hill. Further, the fort was expanded and served as a base for the Norwegian naval hero Tordenskiold and his fleet during the final Norwegian stage of the Great Northern War from 1709 to 1720. By the way, the monument to the hero stands on a hill in the city and got into our frame, we recommend visiting it since the observation deck offers a wonderful view of the harbor and city districts!
During the tourist season, Staverns Fortress can be reached from the shore by boat taxi or rented kayak. You can also visit the picturesque Stavernsodden Lighthouse.
Around the city, there are wide and shallow sandy beaches, which is rare for Norway. With clear water, beautiful shells, and the pleasant rustling of the waves.
After a short walk through the forest, you can visit the building of the Hall of Memory (Minnehallen), which is not typical for Norwegian architecture. This is a memorial dedicated to the memory of the Norwegian sailors who died during the First and Second World Wars. It also offers a wonderful view of the fjord and coastal cliffs.
The old part of the city of Fredriksvern is located behind the fortress wall and it is definitely worth taking a walk along with it, as it is also a cozy park.
In general, Stavern is a very touristic city, its permanent population is about 3,000 inhabitants. Due to the climatic features of the resort city, in summer the population of the city increases by more than several times due to tourists coming to this "Norwegian Riviera".
And we will definitely come back here in the summer and show you how the city changes with the change of season.
