Gulhals Battery is a protected coastal fortification in the Nørremark nature area, constructed around 1800 during the Napoleonic Wars. The installation consists of a three-sided earthwork, approximately 25 metres long and up to 1.8 metres high, with two stone-lined gun positions set behind the embankment. From here, the cannons could cover the coastline as part of the island’s wider defensive network of the time.
The battery lies in open, grazed coastal terrain, where sheep keep the vegetation low so the shape of the earthwork remains clearly visible. A small path leads to the site, where you can see the prominent embankment and the two preserved gun platforms.
Although the battery itself dates from 1800, the surrounding area held military significance earlier — including in 1645, when Swedish forces came ashore here and fighting broke out along the coast. Today, Gulhals Battery stands as an accessible historic site where visitors can combine nature, history and sweeping views over the Baltic Sea.
