The Swedish-Danish border was located only a short distance to the south, since the southern regions of Scania and Blekinge were Danish territories until the mid-17th century. The history of the castle is intertwined with that of Sweden’s.
To this day the majestic castle thrones on an islet in the city of Kalmar. It carries a history both light and dark, glimmering of hope and joy, whilst clouded by dark streaks of sorrow and despair. It invites you to discover its stories, secrets, and mysteries.
At Kalmar Castle we display permanent exhibitions that tell the dramatic history of the castle, but also temporary exhibitions with different themes.
