ウプサラの洞窟・トップ5

Due to the unrest and uprisings of the mid-16th century, Gustav Vasa commissioned the construction of several modern castles as fortresses in the interior of the country. Previously, Uppsala had been defended only by the manor house (Uppsala Manor), likely the old bishop's residence, which Gustav Vasa had expanded and fortified. The defenses of the new castle were based on two bastions, Styrbiskop and Gräsgården. Their design was inspired by Italian architecture. The intricate layout of the bastions eliminated blind spots along the castle walls, ensuring effective defense. The bastions were equipped with cannons. The bastion front of Uppsala Castle is the oldest in the Nordic countries.
