Borgholm Castle, Fortress ruins in Borgholm, Sweden
The castle structure rises on a limestone precipice, with its thick stone walls and towers overlooking the waters of the Kalmar Strait.
Built in the late 1100s as a defensive stronghold, the castle underwent multiple transformations until a fire in 1806 reduced it to its current state.
The inner courtyard of the castle functions as a performance venue, hosting concerts and theater productions throughout the summer season.
The National Property Board of Sweden maintains the site, offering guided tours in multiple languages and educational programs for children.
Swedish pop group Roxette selected the castle ruins as the filming location for their music video 'Listen to Your Heart' in 1989.
