This castle ruin is big! It's definitely worth taking the guided tour where you get to hear stories and myths of what went on back in the day. Most parts of the castle are accessible and you can walk around freely and look at the different exhibitions.
Suecia sabe conservar sus monumentos, más allá de hacerlos un atractivo turístico, ofrece muy buena información respecto a sus atractivos, no hay mares de personas molestas, son rápidos, limpios, es importante buscar información previa antes de visitar así sera más fácil y placentero la visita
Borgholms Slott is a very interesting place. If you love history Borgholms Slott is the place to visit. Basically only the structure of the castle is left. The castle was allowed to fall apart during the 1700 and 1800's. So there are no places where they have restored the castle to original, like for example at Kalmar Slott.Even so I would recommend a visit. They have a very informative museum, that reviews and tells the whole history of the castle. Everything is available in English. I would recommend going when they have the free guided tours. They do the tours twice a day, I believe in Swedish and English. Check the website for the times. I believe this would have added to my experience immensely. They also have activities available for children during certain dates. Check the website. Solliden is within walking distance, but unless you love gardens, it is not worth the 100 SEK entrance fee.
We went to this ruin just over a day to have some ice cream.The ruin is walking distance to the swedish royal castel Soliden.There are several foot path's around the ruins, so it's no problem to walk off the extra pound that you gain in the close by cafe' with everything from ice cream to dinners .There is also guided tours of the ruins if you like that as well.Entry is about 70 SEKWe didn't go in to the ruins. There are plenty so see outside of the walls like a beautiful nature.Sometimes there arrange different events/ music concerts like Toto, local bands and weddings.There is also car meetings a.s.o.
A more than a thousand years old castle of war, grandeur, negligence and summer festivals. Interesting and long guiding tour included in the entrance fee. The architecture and failed intentions are simular to the later fullfilled buildings of the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Ambitious and artlike exhibition. Nice views of the Kalmar Strait from the eastern windows. Our kids shot arrows and baked bread in the childrens area, there is also a small café. This is a must if you come to Borgholm, worth a stay of approximately a couple of hours.
Take your time and cross the Bridge, go north and enjoy the drive.You will end up seeing some white camels!!yes white camels, really interesting. Make sure you make it to the top of the island where you can have fun driving some small roads along the coast.
Just like when you go in the Coliseum in Rome, when you go in, you get this amazing feeling of history, that throws you back to Medieval times. The place is huge and very interesting for families, couples and kids of all ages. In some especial dates in summer there is a lot of "hands on" activities to the little ones.It is just incredible to imagine how life was so hard in those days. We have it so comfortable, that even sewage system and heaters we take for for granted.We have taken our kids since they were small until this summer. Now they are teens, and decided to make a film of the castle with Enia´s folk songs in the background... uhhhh shivers down your spine!
En skönhetsupplevelse utanför det vanliga, den största och vackraste slottsruin jag sett! Väl värt ett besök och glidningen är helt superb!
This castle has a lot of stories and holds a detailed and intricate history which can be seen on each of the walls. Even as you first walk in there are bricks missing from the walls where cannon balls had struck. Unfortunately the castle had a fire in the past and thus what you see today, it was also rebuilt and expanded numerous times in its past. The entrance fee included a guided tour, however it seemed to drag on for a bit too long in my opinion. Personally I would've preferred more signs at points of interest giving you an insight into each rooms history, but I guess this would subtract from the historical feeling.The castle is quite massive and I didn't find any rooms or areas that weren't accessible which was a very nice change from the norm. It allowed us to spend a long time wandering around admiring each room and exploring the castle. All in all I enjoyed my visit here and would probably say it was a highlight of my trip to Oland.
The ruins are just ramparts and the stonework, but the castle was big, so there is still a lot to explore.
