The conquest of Bornholm (Swedish: Erövringen av Bornholm; Danish: Erobringen af Bornholm) occurred in June 1645 during the Torstenson War when a Swedish force of 900 men under the command of Carl Gustaf Wrangel landed on Bornholm, dispersing the 3,000 Danish peasant defenders. The Swedes occupied the island until the Second Treaty of Brömesbro the same year, where it was handed back to Denmark.
