Lenaborg, Medieval castle ruins at Varvsberget mountain, Sweden
The stone foundations of Lenaborg castle spread across the northern slope of Varvsberget, rising 315 meters above the surrounding Västergötland landscape.
Built in the 1250s, Lenaborg served as an unfortified palace for Birger Jarl and his sons before falling into neglect by 1318 under Lidköping bishops' control.
The site holds significance as a registered monument in the Fornminnesregistret, preserving remnants of medieval Swedish construction techniques and architectural design.
Multiple hiking trails provide access to the castle ruins, allowing visitors to explore the foundations while taking in views of the Tidaholm Municipality.
Archaeological excavations revealed sophisticated drainage systems and kitchen facilities constructed with different types of stone, indicating advanced building methods for its time.
