Lagmannsholmen

Western Port of Kristiansand (1848) with the walls of the fortress at Lagmannshomen to the right

Lagmannsholmen in Kristiansand's western harbor was an islet at the mouth of the harbor. It was a fleet station for the Danish-Norwegian skjærgård fleet (a galley fleet) from 1686 forward until the construction of a headquarters for the navy in Fredriksværn in the years 1750-175was an islet at the mouth of the harbor.8.

Lagmannsholmen which today has become part of the mainland, forms a part of Kristiansand's container port and is connected to Fiskebrygga (the Fish Wharf). Most of the former islet consists today of large warehouses and a concrete grain silo. There are few buildings of the former fortifications.
