What to expect
Kalmar Castle is a majestic castle located in the city of Kalmar, Sweden. The castle has a rich history dating back to the 12th century and has played a significant role in Swedish history. It was the site of the formation of the Kalmar Union in 1397, a union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The castle has been rebuilt and restored several times, with its current Renaissance appearance being the result of renovations in the 16th century. Today, the castle is one of Sweden's best-preserved Renaissance castles and is open to the public. Visitors can explore the castle's history, including its role as a fortress, a royal residence, and even a women's prison. The castle also offers guided tours, including special tours for children and evening tours. In the summer, the castle is transformed into the Children's Castle, offering a fun and exciting experience for families
