New Älvsborg Fortress was built in the 17th century near the ruins of the old fortress, but on a small island where the Göta Älv river meets the sea.
It protected the new town of Gothenburg, founded in 1621 by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden.
New Älvsborg Fortress today is a listed building (byggnadsminne) and a popular tourist attraction.
