Founded by the Norwegians in the 14th century, ruled by the Danes for 300 years, and finally Swedish took over as a result of the Treaty at Roskilde in 1658. Marstrand became a wealthy, prosperous town, regarded as a playground for the rich and powerful and theharbor promenadewasthe place to see and be seen. Today, a must-visit is theStrandverket, a contemporary art gallery, featuringphotography and sculpture.A walking path around the island takes about an hour and offers great opportunities for a dip in the cold sea."
