Nyborg Stjerneskanse
⎯⎯⎯
Nyborg's Star Redoubt
Skansen blev opført i årene 1658-59, hvor den anden såkaldte Karl X. Gustav-krig fandt sted. En svensk hær havde besat Nyborg og havde sin hovedlejr øst for byen på den naturlige tange "Østerø": Området bestod dengang af store vådområder med få overgange til "øen", og ydede derfor effektivt beskyttelse for den svenske hærs krigslejr. Stjerneskansen blev bygget af svenskerne for at sikre den nordlige overgang til Østerøen.
Med tiden forfaldt den gamle Stjerneskanse, og først i forbindelse med udbruddet af krigen mellem Danmark og England i 1807 besluttede Kronprins Frederik (d. 6.) at renovere skansen. Den blev ombygget til et rektangulært anlæg, hvori de to vestvendte stjerner blev bevaret. Krigsministeriet solgte i 1899 Stjerneskansen til den lokale apoteker, som lod krudthuset ombygge til den nuværende slotslignende bygning. I 2014 besluttede den nuværende ejer på eget initiativ og bekostning at renovere og istand-sætte skansen i samarbejde med Kulturstyrelsen, Nyborg Kommune og Østfyns Museer.

The redoubt was erected in 1658-59 during the second so-called Karl X. Gustav War. A Swedish army had occupied Nyborg and stationed the main camp east of the city, on the natural isthmus "Østerø". At that time, the area consisted of large wetlands with few access points to the isthmus and therefore provided an effective protection for the Swedish war camp. The Star Redoubt was in fact built by the Swedes to secure the northern access point to the isthmus.
Eventually, the old redoubt fell into decay - but in connection with the outbreak of the war between Denmark and England in 1807, it was decided by Crown Prince Frederick (VI of Denmark) to renovate the redoubt. It was converted into a rectangular redoubt, from which two star points are preserved. In 1899 the War Department sold the redoubt to a local pharmacist whom remodeled the old gun powder house into the current castle-like building. The current owner decided in 2014, on his own initiative and expenses, to renovate and refurbish the redoubt in cooperation with The Danish Agency for Culture, Nyborg Municipality and The Museum of Eastern Funen.
The area is not open to the public.
