Malmö Castle, Renaissance castle in Malmö, Sweden
The castle incorporates late Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements, featuring thick defensive walls, a deep moat, and multiple towers along its perimeter points.
Built in 1434 as a fortress, the structure underwent major reconstruction between 1537 and 1542 to become the oldest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia.
The castle houses multiple museums, including the Malmö Art Museum and Natural History Museum, presenting exhibitions about regional history and natural sciences.
Admission costs 40 SEK for adults and 20 SEK for students, while children under 19 enter free, with opening hours from 10:00 to 17:00 daily.
James Hepburn, third husband of Mary Queen of Scots, spent six years imprisoned in the castle between 1567 and 1573 after fleeing Scotland.
