Eksjöhovgård

Eksjöhovgård stands as stone ruins on an island in Lake Eksjöhovgårdssjön, accessible via a wooden bridge that connects the historical remains to the mainland.

The castle traces its origins to 1287 when it first appeared in written records, later becoming property of the influential Sture family from 1420 to 1616.

The site holds official recognition as a monument in the Fornminnesregistret, Sweden's national heritage register, preserving its archaeological and cultural significance for future generations.

Visitors can reach the ruins by walking approximately 300 meters from the parking area along Highway 127, making it easily accessible for day trips and educational excursions.

The ruins allow visitors to climb on walls and explore various rooms of the original three-story stone building, offering hands-on interaction with medieval architecture.
