Nice museum with interesting exhibits, upstairs is always under construction and is never looking to be finished at any time. The cafe has shrunk and had not alot on offer like it once had.

Martin Rijntjes (3 years ago)
Great museum focussing on the Swedish middle ages (post Viking age) of the city. It tells stories regarding life in Lödöse specifically and middle ages in general. When close by a visit is recommended!

Briançon Fortress

The historical centre of Briançon is a strongly fortified town, built by Vauban to defend the region from Austrians in the 17th century. Its streets are very steep and narrow, though picturesque. Briançon lies at the foot of the descent from the Col de Montgenèvre, giving access to Turin, so a great number of other fortifications have been constructed on the surrounding heights, especially towards the east.

The Savoyards made two raids into French territory in 1691 and 1692. As a result, Vauban was dispatched to inspect the frontier defences, which had been ill-equiped to deal with the attack from Savoy. He returned to the area in 1700 to check on the progress that had been made since his first visit. When Vauban visited Briançon, work on the defences had already started under a local engineer, Monsieur d"Angrogne in 1692.
