Strand Port
On the path of Nyborg's Past
-
In connection with the construction of the new district of
Nyenstad in the 1540s and the city's new fortifications,
for the first time, a large bridge was built
in southern extension of the city. Until then, Nyborgs harbor had been located at the
harbor at Knudshoved. From the new "Strand Port"
the king would now be able to ride readily to
his royal residence with 300 riders. The city was carefully
laid out, so that everyone who traveled through Nyborg - via
the Strand Port and the Land Port - also had to pass
both the castle and tournament (i.e., jousting) space.
