Brahälla, Ruins of a hunting castle in Adelöv, Sweden

The stone ruins of Brahälla stand on a hill near Lake Noen, featuring three vaulted cellars and remnants of halls from the original structure.

Count Per Brahe the Younger commissioned the construction of this hunting lodge around 1680, with master mason Måns from Hultsbäcken leading the project.

The ruins represent Swedish nobility's hunting and recreational practices during the 17th century, documented in Erik Dahlberg's Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna drawings.

Visitors can reach the ruins through a marked trail, and recent restoration work in 2010 improved safety measures for public access.

The structure contains locally produced bricks linked to Per Brahe's period, providing evidence of 17th-century Swedish construction techniques.
