Citadellet ("the Citadel" in Swedish) was originally built in 1559 for war, however, it was later turned into a prison.
Initially built 1549-1559 as a purely defensive fortification with a 70 metre wide moat.
It was captured in 1644 by forces led by Gustav Horn, but returned to Danish possession the year after. Eventually it became Swedish again in 1658 as a result of the Treaty of Roskilde. Between 1667 and 1675 the citadel was expanded with extensive bastions.
