## Description

Københavns Befæstning is an informational website dedicated to the history and heritage of the defensive ring built around Denmark’s capital. It presents the fortifications as one of Europe’s best-preserved systems, created through major military construction between 1858 and 1918. The site explains the political debates and historical events that shaped the project, including the 1807 bombardment of Copenhagen and Denmark’s defeat in 1864.

Visitors can explore the three principal parts of the system: Vestvolden, the northern line of forts and batteries, and the sea defences. The website provides historical information about individual sites such as Garderhøjfortet, Charlottenlundfort and Trekroner Fort, as well as the flood-control installations. It also describes the engineering, weapons and daily military life associated with the fortifications. Beyond their original defensive purpose, these sites are presented as cultural and recreational destinations, connecting Danish history with green spaces and public experiences. The website offers an overview map, information about visiting, project details and contact information for those wishing to learn more.
