The largest island in the city of Karlskrona. The island tody used to be three seperate islands; Björkholmen, Pottholmen and Trossö. Trossö being the largest very built together a few years after the foundation of Karlskrona.
The island were owned by the farmer Vittus Andersson who lived on the island before the King Carl XI came and wanted to build a naval base on the islands. The King came himself to the island in 1679 but Vittus did not want to sell the island to the crown and was therefore thrown in jail where he died 1688. While in prison he cursed the island to burn down twice and then sink into the ocean.
