Siege of Nakskov (1659)
1659 siege of Nakskov
The siege of Nakskov occurred from 4 May to 15 July 1659, during the Dano-Swedish War of 1658–1660. It began when an army of 2,000 men under Carl Gustaf Wrangel began blockading the roads leading into Nakskov. On 6 May, he would unsuccessfully attack towards Stubbeland and Färgeland after the garrison refused to surrender. Due to the failed attack, he instead began bombarding the city.
