    Unique and beautiful place that definitely is worth visiting. It’s rather small so you don’t need much time to walk around. You can walk on the city walls or just wander through the charming streets. There are also nice restaurants and local shops.

    The fortress is a part of the old town in Fredrikstad. This is a place full of history and you can walk around the island in a short time. There is a very nice cafe with good food and a nice selection of locally produced beer. Worth a visit!

    I visited the Literature House as part of Fredrikstad Animation Festival and attended a great panel talk on Animation in the third floor space. The foyer type bar on the same floor works great and you can bring drinks unto the theatre.

    Downstairs is what looks like is a very popular and good restaurant that I would very much like to try out for lunch and dinner next. Will be back!

    Id say this is another must-see place in Fredrikstad city. At least for the magnificent architecture and historical value.

    Fantastic place to visit to see wildlife and nature and just take a tranquil walk. There are cannons that you can take photos with and the fort is still standing. There is no historical museum or any special attractions associated with but it is still neat to visit.

    A lovely place of worship, it is a treasure from 1567 when it first appeared.

    It looked resplendent in the bright afternoon sunshine. With a grand bell tower in white crowned with a darker hued apex with bells and weathervane.

    During our visit there was a continuous stream of weddings, attesting to its popularity as a venue and backdrop.

    Luminous stained glass is grand. Along the nave there is a fine vista to the gorgeous altar area with a notable pulpit in carved wood on one side.

    A fresco of the Last Supper is the centrepiece of the altar bounded by a pair of Ionic columns.

    At the rear a great organ is to be seen in its elevated position.

    East of the old city, a bautiful brige, located in a quiet and comforting area. Great place to bring a cold drink and enjoy the sun.

    At the heart of the city to which he gave his name is this fine monument. Located in the centre of the main square the city's founder in bronze is shown proudly standing on the plinth of polished granite.

    With a lengthy reign of 29 years as King of Denmark and Norway, remarkably he apparently visited the latter only once, in 1585.

    He was the father of Christian IV, who amongst many and far reaching endeavours renamed Oslo to Christiania.

    In 1917, to honour the 350th anniversary of the city’s founding in 1567, it was decided to erect this monument. It was created by the Norwegian sculptor Wilhelm Rasmussen.

    Completed and consecrated in 1990 it is a dramatic looking building. Predominantly in red brick it is crowned with an impressive copper dome.

    Not far from the Cathedral, it was built to cater for an expanding Catholic congregation that had outgrown the existing church.

    Ole Peter Petersen, born in Fredrikstad in 1822, founded Norway’s Methodist Church in the mid 1800s and the Fredrikstad Congregation in 1868.

    This current church dates from the early 1900s. It is striking with whitewashed timber and crowned with a fine tower and steeple.

    It has the status of a Norwegian Historic Site, with No 478.
