BORGHOLM CASTLE – 900 YEARS OF SWEDISH HISTORY

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.
For kids

PIRACY, TRUE LOVE, KINGS, WAR AND MYTHS

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.
His visits to Borgholm Castle 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.
