Kalmar Castle - Kalmar Slott _Kalmar Sweden.
Today we will visit the beautiful and fantastic Kalmar Castle (Swedish: Kalmar slot), in Kalmar, Kalmar län, Sweden. It was a beautiful spring day. I would like to point out that all drone footage was filmed according to the Swedish restricted airspace regulations and with the permission of the air traffic control at Kalmar Airport, since the whole area is a controlled and restricted airspace. Towards the end of the video, I have included some photos of what it looks like inside the castle.

Let’s talk a little bit about the history of Kalmar Castle.
Around 1180 a round defensive tower was built at Kalmarsund and a harbor constructed on the site where Kalmar Castle now stands. The tower’s purpose was to protect the area from attacks by pirates and other enemies. By the beginning of the 1200s, Kalmar was established as a city.
At the end of the thirteenth century King Magnus Ladulås had a new fortress built with a curtain wall, round corner towers and two square gatehouses surrounding the original tower. Located near the site of Kalmar's medieval harbor, it has played a crucial part in Swedish history since its initial construction as a fortified tower in the 12th century.
One of the most significant political events in Scandinavia took place at Kalmar Castle in 1397, when the Kalmar Union was formed - a union of Denmark, Norway and Sweden (including Finland), organized by Queen Margaret I of Denmark. The union also worked as a counterweight to the German Hanseatic League. With the coronation of Gustav Vasa in Sweden in 1523, the union was formally dissolved. During the Swedish rebellion against Denmark in 1520, the fortress was commanded by Anna Eriksdotter (Bielke), who at the death of her spouse, Johan Månsson (Natt och Dag), in the middle of the rebellion against Denmark in 1520, took control over his fiefs and defended Kalmar against Denmark.
In the 16th century Kalmar Castle was expanded and renovated under the direction of King Gustav I and in the hands of his sons King Erik XIV and King Johan III, monarchs of the House of Vasa, giving it a Renaissance feel fit for a king, the feel it still has today. Both Erik XIV and Johan III hired artists and carpenters from Europe to modernise the castle architecture and decorations.
During the Kalmar War 1611-1613, governor Krister Some gave up the castle to the Danes on 3 August 1611. He was branded a traitor and according to tradition, his face is the one engraved on the staircase before the eastern section of the castle. The Danes held the castle until 1613. After the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, the castle was no longer needed to protect the old border and it lost its strategic location. It was therefore no longer needed for military defense. Royal visits became increasingly rare and the grand halls were used for other purposes. There were prison cells and even a distillery. During the Kalmar war the Kalmar Castle suffered heavy damage and was badly damaged by a fire in 1642.
Repairs had begun but from the end of the seventeenth century the castle was allowed to fall into disrepair.
