Borgholm Castle, ”the most beautiful castle ruin of Scandinavia”, ranks among those buildings that leave no visitor untouched. The size of the castle is overwhelming and its geographical setting fascinating. Rarely do nature and architecture form such a unity as here. This unique setting was further accentuated in 1806 when the castle was destroyed by a fire, and the bare limestone walls were all that was left of the its former glory.

Borgholm Castle is an exciting destination for both young and old! Here the whole family can go exploring in the castle ruins and see the exhibitions together.

King Karl X Gustav was a young gentleman with a strong passion for food, women and war. It is said that he had a waist size of more than two metres.

When King Karl XI visited Borgholm Castle in 1673, it caused great distress to the people of Öland, who were forced to serve and provide supplies to the king and his entourage of 500 persons.

This and much more is depicted in Borgholm Castle's exhibition Rise & Fall.

Källa Old Church is located along the road to Källahamn. For some time, Källahamn was one of the most important harbours on North-East Öland. The area around the church is called Vi alvar, and has many Iron Age remains.
