Castle ruins, with shop and restrooms 🤙

Worth it! Beautiful place, currently hosting an exciting exhibition about lost places!

The original castle developed into a fortified palace with several wings under John III in the Renaissance. In the 17th century, the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, commissioned by Charles X Gustav, redesigned the palace into a significant Baroque complex. The previously isolated parts of the building were expanded into four large wings and placed under a shared, imposing roof, with the corner towers capped with dome-like domes. These extensions, however, were not fully completed; the east and south wings were roofed but not expanded. The defensive tower was demolished during the renovation work, and its outline is now embedded in the ground within the palace courtyard.

Borgholm Castle originated from a 12th-century defensive tower and was continually expanded due to its strategic importance in the Swedish wars against the Danes.

Borgholm Castle is located near the town of Borgholm on the western side of the Swedish island of Öland. After a fire in the 19th century, it now remains only a ruin, but remains one of Sweden's most important landmarks.

Impressive ruin that is worth a visit.

A beautiful old castle with farmlands, the old buildings show how important this house must have been. Nowadays there are mainly horses in the meadows around the castle.

Very well preserved castle.
