Kalmar Castle is a nearly 800-year-old castle, and due to its location, it was called the "key to the kingdom" in its heyday. In 1397, it was at this castle that the Kalmar Union was signed, which unified the kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It is the most painstakingly well-preserved Nordic Renaissance Castle. The architecture of the castle itself is worth seeing, and you can easily spend a few hours walking through the castle and its grounds. If you visit in the morning, be sure to see the reflection of the castle in the water body surrounding it. You will often find guides dressed in period costumes to increase engagement. Do walk through the Dining Hall to see the elaborate setup on how the food was consumed during the time when the castle was used as a residence. The exhibition halls also have touring exhibits that change depending on the time of the year when you visit it.
