Historic Kalmar

Kalmar Castle has a history dating back to the 12th century. This is where the Kalmar Union was signed in 1397 and already during the time of the Vasa kings in the 16th century, the castle got its current appearance. With its cobblestones, architecture and stone houses from the 17th century, the city has preserved the memory of the Swedish great power era.
