Lindholmen Castle, Medieval fortress ruins in Hisingen, Sweden

Lindholmen Castle stood on Slottsberget hill, commanding views over the Göta Älv river and serving as a strategic control point for maritime traffic.

King Magnus IV Eriksson first documented the castle in 1333, establishing it as a residence near the border between Sweden and Norway during his reign.

The fortress represented the power dynamics between Swedish and Norwegian territories, functioning as a neutral meeting point between the two kingdoms.

The remaining foundation stones and wall fragments of the castle are accessible through a walking path leading up Slottsberget hill in modern Gothenburg.

The castle served as a wedding gift from King Magnus to his wife Blanche of Namur in 1335, marking its status as a royal residence.
