Älvsborg ( also Elfsborg Fortress ) is a large sea fortress in Rivö fjord within modern Gothenburg , Sweden . Situated at the mouth of the Göta River , it protected medieval Sweden 's only access to the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean , along with the nearby settlement known today as Gothenburg ( formerly named Lödöse , Nya Lödöse , Älvsborg and Charles IX 's Gothenburg ) . The original Old Älvsborg Fortress ( Swedish : Älvsborgs fästning or Älvsborgs slott ) was located on the mainland , on the southern shore of the estuary , above modern Klippan . Only few ruins are visible today in the vicinity of the Carnegie-pier . The old fortress was dismantled and relocated to one of the islands in the estuary , in the 17th century . This New Älvsborg Fortress ( Swedish : Nya Elfsborg ) is still maintained . In 1643 , a settlement in New Sweden , North America , was named Fort Nya Elfsborg ( Fort New Älvsborg ) , after the Swedish fortress . This settlement was abandoned in 1655 . Gothenburg was the main centre for Swedes emigrating to America , and the fortress would have been one of the last sights the emigrants saw on leaving the country .
Gothenburg ( /ˈɡɒθənbɜːrɡ/ ( listen ) ; abbreviated Gbg ; Swedish : Göteborg [ jœtɛˈbɔrj ] ( listen ) ) is the second-largest city in Sweden , fifth-largest in the Nordic countries , and capital of the Västra Götaland County . It is situated by Kattegat , on the west coast of Sweden , and has a population of approximately 570,000 in the city proper and about 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area . Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified , primarily Dutch , trading colony , by royal charter in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus . In addition to the generous privileges ( e.g . tax relaxation ) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years ' War , the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast . At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv , where Scandinavia 's largest drainage basin enters the sea , the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries . Gothenburg is home to many students , as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology . Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927 . The original parent Volvo Group and the now separate Volvo Car Corporation are still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city . Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca .

The oldest part of the castle , a defence tower , was erected in the latter half of the 13th century . This tower was added to in the 14th century to make a larger stronghold , and towards the end of the 16th century most of the impressive castle we see today was built . The name of Örebro comes from the small stones , called ör in Swedish , that a river transports . The second part of the word comes from the bridge ( bro ) that was built over this ford .
