About the battle
The Siege of Wolgast took place from 1 to 10 November 1675 during the Swedish invasion of Brandenburg, part of the Scanian War. Frederick William besieged Wolgast, then part of Swedish Pomerania, and forced the Swedish garrison to surrender.
Wolgast was returned to Sweden in accordance with the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1679) that ended the war.
