Falkenberg (fort)

Falkenberg was a fort in Falkenberg, Sweden. It was first mentioned in 1298. It would later give the town, which was previously known as Ätraby, its name. The fort was the location for several Nordic treaties during the fourteenth century. It was burnt down by count Erik in 1356, but was thereafter rebuilt. The army of Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson did, under the leadership of Herman Berman besiege the town in 1434. The defenders managed the first attack successfully.
