Norre Port

Halmstad, Italy

Norre Port

Norre Port, also Norreport, city gate in Halmstad, Halland County, Sweden. Norre Port was completed in 1601 under the Danish king Christian IV. This was part of the city's fortifications, which also included Halmstad Castle and the ramparts you can see remnants of in Norre Katt's park and by Charles

XI's road. The gate, which leads to the street called Storgatan, is angled in relation to this, a way to prevent shelling towards the city.
