Telge hus, Medieval fortress in Södertälje, Sweden.

The structure contains a central hall, two rooms with vaulted brick roofs, and a tower situated north of Södertälje's center point.

First mentioned in 1400, Telge hus served as a base for tax collection in the medieval Telgehus district covering Öknebo, Hölebo, and Svartlösa regions.

Archaeological excavations in 1937 uncovered numerous artifacts including crossbow bolts, horseshoes, chain mail remains, and everyday objects from medieval life.

The remains of Telge hus can be viewed near the modern harbor, while recovered artifacts are displayed at Torekällbergets Museum in Södertälje.

Underwater investigations between 2000 and 2002 revealed a preserved medieval boat wreck and harbor remnants dating back to the 1300s.
