Vestvolden
Vestvolden (
Christian IX's support for Provisional Financial Laws. This included support from the so-called Landstinget as well. The Landstinget was a smaller assembly of politicians, of which half of its members were chosen by the Monarch.[3]
Its use as fortification ceased in 1920. However, it continued to be used for military purposes, and was not opened to the public until 1963.[4] Today, it is a recreational area, and has been a protected area since 1993.[4][5]
