Carlstens Fästning

Great fort with awesome views and history. You need to buy tickets to get around the fort but free to visit around and catch breathtaking ocean views. Neatly maintained and well preserved. Camp, swim and trek. An awesome experience.

Did not purchase tickets to go inside but the exterior was cool to look at! You can hike around the castle through trails over rocks and look out to the sea! Pretty sweet!

Ive been absolutely in love with castles, forts and the likes since I was a small boy. This was extremely interesting and informative! The castle is in very good shape (of course only everything made of Rock, there are multiple floors/parts which were made of wood and sadly didnt live to see this day) But they talk about that in the "Podcast" through the castle with 28 1-2min parts. I loved the Story being told, its in multiple languages, including german, which tells you about the forts origin, how much blond and sweat it took to build and what its purpose. The ticket price was 120 Krona (ca. 11 euro) for regular grownups and 100 (ca. 9) for students, which is completly justified, as you have to keep the fort in check. Definetly Worte the Trip! There is also a small place to eat infront of it.

Outstanding views from the walls. A very well preserved fortress worthy of many pictures. Exceptional when the weather is good. Easily one the most beautiful place in Sweden. We came here during midsommar, we would have liked to visit the inside but we did not have the time, said I would come back to the very welcoming young woman at the entrance but in the end I could not, maybe next time!

It’s interesting to walk around and explore the fortress. But the fact that it was used as a prison — and that they still display portraits of former inmates — makes you wonder what exactly they’re proud of. +very expensive tickets!!!

Majestic castle on top of Marstands Island. It will take a 2 minute ferry ride from Mastrands Färjeläge. Two way tickets cost 34 SEK per person. No need to buy tickets in advance. Tickets available from the counter.

If you love nature and this kind of style , this is the place !!

It’s so beautiful place, if you love old places.
