1. Kalmar Castle
Kamar Castle was built as a watchtower in 1180 to protect the mainland from pirates. It later became a fortress under King Magnus Ladulas and was considered the most modern in Sweden at the time. It was also here that the joint convention and foreign policy between Sweden, Denmark and Norway were signed in 1937.
Now this beautiful and majestic castle has become a symbol of the romantic seaside city of Kalmar. Coming here, you will feel like you have gone back in time when you sit on the king's throne and try to live like a Western royal.
