Pháo đài Skansin

Skansin

A 16th-century coastal fortress that served as the British military headquarters during World War II. It keeps its old cannons and a lighthouse, with views over the harbor.

Skansin was first built in 1580 to protect Tórshavn from pirate raids and was rebuilt in the 18th century. During World War II, British forces occupied the Faroe Islands and made the site their headquarters. Two British cannons and a small lighthouse survive here today. Grassy slopes offer wide views over the harbor and the ferries coming and going. It is free to visit, and it is about a 10-minute walk from the city center.
