Karlshamn's Castle

A Historical Gem

Karlshamn's Castle, also known as Frisholmen, is more than just a fortification island in Karlshamn's harbor; it is a living chapter in Sweden's rich history. Since its construction in 1675, this island has served as part of Sweden's defense strategy and acted as a symbol of the country's expansion and story of transition from Danish to Swedish.

Today, Karlshamn's Castle is an inviting destination with a five-minute boat ride from the city center to the jetty.
