What to expect
Stegeborgs Slottsruin is a medieval castle ruin located on a small island in the Slätbaken bay near Söderköping. The castle consists of partially demolished fortress walls, which almost completely enclose a large rectangular courtyard. The ruin includes a rectangular fortified tower from the early 12th century and a high, well-preserved round tower from the 14th century. The island is surrounded by a park-like landscape with a pretty herb garden. Stegeborg was one of the most important fortresses in Sweden and remained a royal castle from the 16th century until the beginning of the 18th century. It was often the scene of bloody conflicts and tough negotiations among the most powerful of its time. Today, visitors can explore the castle ruin and learn about its rich history
