Drottningskärs Kastell

Drottningskärs kastell (citadel) was largely built during the last decade of the 17th century and is considered one of Sweden’s foremost defence constructions, a complete and well preserved fortress from Sweden’s period as a great power. The citadel has a large castle keep in granite with gun deck, powder magazine and quarters. It has four bastions named after the queens Maria, Christina, Hedvig and Ulrica. The commandant’s quarters are in the courtyard. The citadel was prepared for war during various periods throughout the 18th century and up to 1811 with at the most 250 men. Since 1895 Drottningskär has not played an active part in the Swedish defence system. Instead Aspö Ellenabbsfortet took over this role and was equipped with heavy, armoured vessel guns.
 You can get to Drottningskär citadel all year round via the car ferry to Aspö. The archipelago boats stop here during the summer. There is also a restaurant and café.

Brändaholm

Did you know that the most Swedish of all Swedish motifs, and perhaps the most widely distributed, is found in Karlskrona – on tiny Brändaholm. 43 red cottages with white corners, waving flags and a bright blue sea. And the motif continues to be spread across the globe as a representation of genuine Swedishness. Come take a look at the real thing!

Kungsholms Fort

This fort has defended the entrance to Karlskrona for more than 300 years. Kungsholms Fort is still operational within the Swedish defences. The remarkable round harbour has become somewhat of a symbol for Karlskrona’s status as a World Heritage site. Exotic plants from all corners of the globe flourish under the protection of the fort’s walls. They have been brought here over many years on vessels returning from distant voyages. A museum on the island depicts the fort’s history. There are regular guided tours to Kungsholms Fort during the summer, visits can also be arranged for groups and individuals at other times.
