Piksborg, Medieval castle ruins near Lake Bolmen, Sweden
The stone walls and foundations of Piksborg castle stand on a promontory extending into Lake Bolmen, displaying medieval construction techniques.
Built in the late 14th century as a border defense against Danish invasions, Piksborg castle was burned to the ground in 1434.
Local folklore speaks of King Pigge, who reportedly buried a gold chest on Borgholmen before fleeing across Lake Bolmen in a copper kettle.
The castle ruins remain open for visits twenty-four hours a day throughout the year, though the site lacks facilities for wheelchair users.
Numerous treasure hunters have reported mysterious events while searching for King Pigge's gold chest, including visions of approaching medieval fleets.
