Hunehals, Medieval fortress ruins near Kungsbacka, Sweden
The stone remnants of Hunehals Borg stand on the Hanhalsholme peninsula, overlooking the eastern shore of Kungsbackafjord, five kilometers south of Kungsbacka.
Count Jakob of Halland constructed Hunehals around 1290 after being exiled from Denmark for his involvement in King Erik Klipping's murder in 1286.
The fortress earned the name 'Castle of the Outlaws' due to its association with Count Jakob and his followers during their period of exile.
Visitors can access the ruins through a marked trail from the parking area, with educational signs and QR codes providing detailed information about the medieval site.
Archaeological excavations revealed 14th-century arrowheads, suggesting the castle remained active beyond its last documented mention in historical records from 1328.
