It guards the Oeresund in Denmark, every ship entering or leaving the Baltic sea had to stop and pay 1-2% toll on the cargo value. This payed Denmark national budged for the 16th and 17th centuries. If you didn't stop and pay, they'd sink you. Denmark was a pirate state.

Anglos even claimed rivers were international waters, they attacked China and Argentina for closing their rivers

>rivers
we are not talking about a river, we are talking about the entrance to the baltic see, a strait. Denmark was parasitic on ships, they did not provide any service at all.

Likely they built the castle way before the fort.

If you're within cannon-range of the shore, you're not in international waters.
