Why Malmöhus Castle matters

Malmöhus is a squat, red-brick castle built in the 16th century and rebuilt after earlier fortress phases. A moat and a pleasant park surround it, and inside the museums cover art, natural history and the city's past. You can walk on the ramparts for views across the canal. It makes a good rainy-day stop.

Talking points

  • A moat surrounds the castle walls.
  • The museums cover local history, art and nature.
  • The park around it is a good place to relax.
