Gåseborg

The fortress stands on steep cliffs rising 45 meters above Lake Mälaren, featuring two stone walls constructed without mortar on its land-facing side.

Archaeological excavations in 2002 revealed bronze casting crucibles dating from 300 to 500 AD, indicating the site is older than initially estimated.

The fortification served as a center of metal production, with analysis of discovered crucibles showing evidence of gold processing for high-status objects.

Visitors can reach Gåseborg through Vattenverksvägen from Hummelmoravägen, leading to a parking area where the road makes a sharp right turn.

The fortress walls contain two entrances with stone slab steps positioned at angles that prevented enemies from looking directly inside the structure.
