The castle gave the town its name.

The gateway to Sweden for all travellers.

Partial reconstruction of a Viking fortress (ring castle) from the late 10th century.

Small museum with cafe.

Admission 60SKr (2019)

Within walking distance of the harbor, but also a few parking spaces.

Opening hours 12-16 o'clock, in the summer about 10 weeks 10-17 o'clock. I was there in the evenings, the area was freely accessible.

The original fortress dates back to 890 and was built by King Harald Blue Tooth. Excavations in the area of the former castle in 1988 revealed traces of the northern and western gates, as well as the wall and moat section in between. Furthermore, the eastern gate was examined and parts of the trench were recorded in the south-eastern and southern areas. The rest of the castle is now inaccessible under the surrounding streets and houses. After the excavations were completed, the north-western quarter of the complex, as well as a courtyard with outbuildings and a half-timbered house from the 14th century, were reconstructed by 1995. The reconstruction impressively shows the dimensions of the facility at that time. The associated museum is also beautifully designed, which shows further information and, among other things, a model of the entire facility.
