History[]
The fort was built during the Viking age and was used in many wars as a shelter. The fort was originally built by Jon Jarl in the 13th century but was modernised in the 17th century by Governor Gareth, who also gave the fort its current name. A statue of Gareth stands at the western side of the fort.
