The Vaxholm Fortress was built between 1883-1863 to guard one of the main waterways that lead into the Stockholm Archipelago. Its museum contains interesting items from Vaxholm's history as a fortress, and then later as a prison. The structure is impressive, and is an interesting stop for those who want to learn something of its history.
