KALMAR CASTLE
A strategic stronghold on the border of Denmark and Sweden in the Middle Ages, then a major player during the War of Skåne in 1676, this solid orange castle surrounded by the waters of the Baltic Sea was initially built in the 12th century. It was the place where the Kalmar Treaty was signed in 1397 before being transformed by the Vasa dynasty until it took on its present appearance at the end of the 16th century. It is now the best preserved Renaissance castle in the country. A guided tour is offered at the reception desk, included in the ticket price.
