Landskrona Citadel, 16th century fortress in Landskrona, Sweden.
The Landskrona Citadel contains four round towers at each corner, with a central square structure measuring 90 meters on each side, encircled by a 30-meter-wide moat.
King Christian III of Denmark commissioned the construction of this strategic fortress between 1549 and 1559 to maintain control over the Oresund strait.
The eastern tower functioned as a prison for life sentences, while from 1900 to 1940 sections of the fortress operated as a labor institution for vagrant women.
The fortress exterior and castle yard remain open during daylight hours throughout the year, with guided tours available multiple times daily during summer months.
The citadel grounds contain Sweden's oldest allotment garden, Rothoffs Museikoloni, which serves as the country's single allotment garden museum.
