Tibrandshögen, Medieval castle ruins in Rödön's parish, Sweden

Tibrandshögen is a castle mound in Rödön with remains of a medieval fortress standing on the largest hill along the waterfront. The ruins reveal the layout of the original defensive structure and command views across the surrounding waters and landscape.

Tibrandsholm was probably founded in the 14th century as a motte-and-bailey castle on Rödön by Rödösundet. According to a preserved letter from Queen Margaret, the castle was demolished around 1402; Tibrand likely belonged to a branch of the Victual Brothers, whom she fought. Excavations found a brick tower on the mound's top and house foundations outside the moat, indicating a populated outer bailey.

The hill takes its name from Tibrand, a Danish castle steward described in local legend as cruel and greedy; the people of Jämtland are said to have killed him one Christmas morning at Ås Church. The medieval castle itself, Tibrandsholm, was probably held by a branch of the Victual Brothers, whom Queen Margaret fought.

The mound lies on Rödön by Rödösundet and Storsjön in Krokom Municipality, Jämtland. The grass-covered castle hill has a moat on the land side, and house foundations have been excavated outside it, so the remains extend beyond the mound itself. The surrounding area holds older monuments from the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Viking Age.

The mound gave its name to Tibrandsholm castle, and the site is listed as Rödön 17:1 in the Swedish Ancient Monuments Register (Fornminnesregistret). Excavations have uncovered house foundations outside the moat, showing that a populated outer bailey stood below the brick tower on the summit.
