Danish peninsula

Slipshavn

**Slipshavn** is a peninsula off the east coast of [Funen](/source/Funen), [Denmark](/source/Denmark). Together with [Knudshoved](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Knudshoved&action=edit&redlink=1) to the north, it forms a natural harbor at [Nyborg Fjord](/source/Nyborg).

## History

A [sconce](/source/Sconce_(fortification)) was constructed at the site in 1556–57, which was used as a base by the naval ships guarding the traffic between Funen and [Zealand](/source/Zealand). The fortification was expanded to its current state between 1801 and 1808. It was also used as a check point until the abolishment of the [sound dues](/source/Sound_dues) in 1857.[1] Following the outbreak of [World War I](/source/World_War_I), a base for [seaplanes](/source/Seaplane) and submarines opened on the peninsula in 1916. After the end of the war, it was only used sporadically by small naval vessels and aircraft. During [World War II](/source/World_War_II), Slipshavn was used by the occupying German forces. Since the late 1940s, it has been used by the Danish Home Defense and since 1956 by the Danish Naval Home Defense.[1]

## Today

The peninsula is now home to an educational facility operated by the Naval Home Defense. A wooden hangar from 1916 is still seen at the site.[1]
