Here, you'll find great views of Varberg Fortress.

It was originally built between 1287-1300 by Count Jacob Nielsen with Norwegian assistance and became Norwegian territory in 1305. The fortress was later expanded to include a castle and served as a residence for several Scandinavian royals, including King Magnus IV of Sweden.

It faced multiple sieges and structural changes in the 16th century, before becoming Swedish after the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645, and served as a military installation and a prison.

Today, Varberg Fortress is a museum with unique exhibits, including the Bocksten Man and the button believed to have killed Charles XII of Sweden, and it is also said to be home to a mysterious lake monster.
