Summary edit

Description
English: Sketch from 1808 of the cannon batteries at the Røsnæs peak. The tip of Røsnæs, also called Refsnæs, is Zealand's westernmost point. In 1964. The Danish government purchased Røsnæsgården to make the area more accessible to the population. The area is 200 hectares.

Just west of the Fisherman's House that was built around 1900 for the fisherman. Hillebrandt is a fortress hill, how old it is is not known, but is known to exist before the England wars. In order to prevent hostile landing (after the loss of the fleet to England in 1801 and 1807), the batteries were extended and supplemented by a battery at the Skanseskov, as well as a battery where the lighthouse now lies. The guns could fire about a mile with grenades of up to 24 pounds. Only the main battery was permanently manned - the others were equipped with guns based on needs.
