  Ertholmene
Ertholmene, sometimes termed Christiansø, is a smallish archipelago, consisting of the three islands Christiansø, Frederiksø and Graesholm as well as some rocks and skerries in the Baltic Sea some 18 km northeast of Bornholm.
Ertholmene (literally meaning pea islands) belong to Denmark, forming the easternmost part of that country.
In 1684 a fort was built on Ertholmene, which served as an outpost for the Danish navy until 1855.

The little islands Christiansoe and Frederiksoe, also called Ertholmene (green-peas-islands in Danish), are not only treasures in landscape.
Under the lead of the Norwegian builder Anthony Coucheron Christiansoe it was equipped to be a fortress — at the very extreme edge of the Danish kingdom and in the middle of a sea area which was governed by the Swedes.
Since 1855 Christiansoe is no official fortress any more but even today the Ertholmene are still governed by the Danish ministry of Defence and do not belong to any administrative district.
