The battle of Landvetter occurred on 27 May 1645 during the Torstenson War between Denmark and Sweden. On 25 May, a Danish force led by Iver Krabbe crossed the Viskan, with the objective of marching to Bohus. Upon crossing, following information of the Swedes concentrating forces in Scania, and a significant Dutch fleet heading to Scania, the infantry in the detachment was sent to Varberg while Krabbe and the cavalry continued toward Bohus. At Landvetter, he was halted by Swedish forces led by Harald Stake, who defeated Krabbe and forced him to retreat into Halland.
