Description

Kronoberg Castle is a medieval ruined castle located on an island in Helgasjön , 5 kilometres north of Växjö in Kronoberg County, which is named after the castle. The castle ruin is open to tourists in the summer months.
In 1444 Lars Mikaelson, Bishop of Växjö, built a stone building on the lakeshore, which was destroyed by Danish forces during the Dano-Swedish War , but reconstructed and fortified after restored peace in 1472. During the Reformation in Sweden, the castle and its estate were confiscated by King Gustav I.
