Lagmannsholmen

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

Lagmannsholmen in Kristiansand's western harbour was the 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 1750-1758.

Today Lagmannsholmen forms a part of Kristiansand's container port and is connected to Fiskebrygga (the Fish Wharf). Most of the island consists of large warehouses and a concrete grain silo.
