The Rostockaholme homestead was located here about 700 years ago. The floor plan of the main building can still be seen clearly. There is a nice rest area with a table and bench.

The island of Rostocka is a ruined castle east of Emmaboda on the Rostock farm in the municipality of Algutsboda in the municipality of Emmaboda.

Rostocka is located on a headland in Lyckebyån between the lakes Grimmansmålasjön and Rostockasjön. The ruin comprises four house foundations and a larger cellar pit. Smaller archaeological excavations of the ruin were carried out in the 1990s and showed that the castle was mainly used in the 14th century and abandoned in the early 15th century. The finds sometimes include iron objects, an earthenware shard and a bracteate from the reign of Magnus Eriksson.

The land register 1558-59 shows that a small island in the Rostockasjön lake called "Lybkehålme" belonged to the Rostock farm. It is probably the original name of the castle. On his estate "Lybeke" there is a letter from Nils Turesson (Bielke) to which his brothers Sten and Bengt testify. Perhaps this "Lybeke" is identical to the island of Rostocka.
