Kärnan

A wonderful castle visit is guaranteed here, but be warned there’s around 120 steps to climb to reach the top. The experience is quite simplistic, but very good value and incredibly educational. If your someone who things “a boring castle” this is not the normal experience and that makes it all the better.

A single tower remaining from a medieval castle dating from the 1300s. Its prominence persists, with many people simply drawn to this impressive and curious structure.

The tower was closed at Time when I was there, but it is a significant landmark even from outside. I definetly have to get back here one day, to see it from inside and top. The staircase to the tower was open, and it provided beautiful view to surrounding as well.

This was an unexpected find for us when we visited Helsingborg. A lovely medieval tower in the middle of the city, right next to the Terrace Stairs (Terrasstrapporna), and the many restaurants below the stairs. We took about 30 minutes to tour the tower, then headed down the Stairs and had dinner. The Tower is well worth the short visit.

Kärnan stands as a significant historical landmark in Helsingborg. Situated atop a hill, this well-preserved medieval tower offers a commanding aerial vista of the city and the Öresund strait. For an even more elevated perspective, visitors can ascend the tower, where panoramic views unfold, showcasing the urban layout and the surrounding landscape. The grounds surrounding Kärnan feature a charming park, providing a pleasant environment to enjoy the scenery and appreciate the historical context of this notable site.

If you’ve come to Helsingborg, I definitely recommend visiting it. The view is amazing.

A great site to visit, historical, clean and well preserved. An extraordinary panoramic view of the east coast of the city. A large green area around the top and next to the boulevard. By paying, you can enter inside the tower, everything else can be visited at any time.

Kärnan (The Core) in Helsingborg, Sweden, is an imposing medieval tower, the last remaining structure of a once-mighty castle. Its strategic location overlooking the Øresund Strait offers panoramic views of the city and the Danish coast. Climbing the narrow spiral staircase to the top is rewarded with a breathtaking vista. While the tower itself is relatively bare, the historical significance and the stunning views make it a worthwhile visit for history buffs and sightseers alike.

If you for any reason are visiting Helsingborg, there is actually not much to be recommended for the sightseeing. This little castle should be included in any case within your To-Do-List. It is located very centrally, very close to the harbor, Central Station and some of main hotels in the city. It is not very high, offers anyway amazing view across the city. There are also some benches on the top for sitting and relaxing.

There is not much left of the castle here. The Swedes demolished a lot of it to stop the Dane's getting a foothold on this side again, which seems rather defeatist to me...sounds like the kind of tactic English football coaches might employ! It was originally built by the Danes themselves as this part of Sweden was part of Denmark for many years Still the view from up top is nice and it only costs a couple of pounds equivalent to go up there (and they are sympathetic regarding counterfeit notes that you got given earlier (http://www.qype.co.uk/review/1091808) )
