Sweden - Glimmingehus slott
Glimmingehus is considered to be the best-preserved medieval castle in Sweden.
The construction of the castle was started in 1499 (completed in 1505) knight Jens Holgersen Ulfstand, who apparently terrorised the farmers of the region in the service of the king of Denmark. Sweden’s province of Skåne was part of Denmark at the time.
The impressive castle is more of a ‘keep’. Glimmingehus contains many defensive arrangements of that era, such as parapets, false doors and dead-end corridors, 'murder-holes' for pouring boiling pitch over the attackers, a moat and drawbridge.
The castle is 30 meters long, 12 meters wide; the highest point comes to almost 26 meters. The lower part of the castle's stone walls are 2.4 meters thick and the upper part 1.8 meters.
Glimmingehus looks imposing, just a big stone box located on the vast fields of Österlen.
Nowadays the castle is a museum; on site there are also a restaurant with medieval dishes, a shop and a coffee house.
