Ringstaholm, Medieval château ruins in Norrköping Municipality, Sweden
The stone remains of Ringstaholm stand on a small islet in the Motala River, west of Norrköping, near the outflow from Lake Glan.
First documented in 1316, Ringstaholm served as an administrative center for the region and underwent multiple sieges during power struggles in the 15th century.
Archaeological excavations in 1908 revealed foundations, arrowheads, and stone ammunition, providing evidence of medieval Swedish military architecture and defensive strategies.
The ruins of Ringstaholm require boat transportation to access the site, as the former fortress remains isolated on its original island location.
Louis De Geer attempted to rebuild Ringstaholm using Dutch bricks in the 17th century, but malaria outbreaks and famine prevented the completion.
