In 1555 the first fortifications were built, but it was torn down in 1561. In the early 17th century the harbour again became of strategic importance, and in 1635 the island was visited by king Christian IV who decided to build Christiansø Fortress to protect the harbour.〔() 300 års militær aktivitet på Gammeløya 〕 In 1656 a new fortress, Fredriksholm, was built, and Christiansø soon decayed. In 1807 about 250 people lived on the island, and in September 1807 English ships anchored at the harbour. The local people fled, Fredriksholm fortress was blown up, and the island was pillaged. 〔() Historie om Flekkerøy〕 In 1848 a canon battery was built, but in 1872 it was abandoned, and in 1874 the partially rebuilt Fredriksholm fortress was also closed down for good. In 2005 remaining military properties on Flekkerøya were secured for public outdoor life by the Ministry of Climate and Environment.〔() Forsvarseiendommer sikres til friluftsliv 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flekkerøy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
