Dalaborg, Medieval castle ruins on Lake Vänern, Mellerud Municipality, Sweden.
The remaining structures of Dalaborg include ancient moats, ramparts, a stone terrace, and the cellar foundation of a blockhouse near Lake Vänern.
Duke Erik and Valdemar Magnusson constructed Dalaborg Castle in 1304 during their conflict with King Birger, establishing a strategic fortress in medieval Sweden.
Queen Margareta received recognition as regent of Sweden at Dalaborg in 1388, marking a crucial moment in Scandinavian political unification.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds through designated pathways and view a detailed model of the original structure at the Mellerud Museum.
The fortress met its end during the Engelbrekt Rebellion of 1434, when Swedish peasants destroyed the stronghold in their uprising against Eric of Pomerania.
