The Kärnan fortress guarded Helsingborg for almost 700 years and has become a symbol of the city. A spiral staircase leads up to the top, from where you have a great view over the city and Denmark. Kärnan is 34 meters high and the walls are 4.5 meters thick. The tower is the only remnant of the ancient fortifications that have existed here since the Middle Ages. The terrace staircase connecting Kärnan with Stortorget Square below was inaugurated in 1903.

Kärnan is a tower and former fortress in Helsingborg. The complex was built in 1313 by the Danish king Erik Menved and also served as a residence for him when he was in the city. The tower is 35 meters high and has a square basic shape of 15x15 meters. This tower was only part of the former fortification.
