For en tid siden var svenskene våre fiender. Derfor ble det bygget fort rundt omkring for å være klar til å stoppe angrep fra øst. Urskog fort er et av disse. Det ble påbegynt i 1901 og ferdig 1903. Så brøt freden ut. Og i fredsforhandlingene ble det godtatt som et krav at fortet skulle demoleres. Dette ble utført i 1906. (Også da ble det sløst med skattepengene). I de seneste årene har Aurskog-Høland Rotary lagt ned mye arbeide for å restaurere store deler av fortet. Cachen er en militær matboks. |

A while ago the Swedes were our enemies. Therefore fortresses were built so that possible attacks from the east could be stopped. Urskog fort is one of these. The construction started in 1901 and was completed in 1903. Then the peace broke out. And in the peace negotiations there was a demand that this fortress were to be demolished. This was done in 1906. (Even in those days taxpayer's money was wasted). In the later years Aurskog-Høland Rotary have made great efforts to restore parts of the fortress. |
