The Enigma of Uttersberg: A Medieval Hideaway for the Royals

Uncover the mysteries of Uttersbergs kastal, a 12th-century round tower outside Krokek, Sweden. This hidden refuge may have been a secret sanctuary for kings and queens.

Welcome to Uttersbergs kastal, an ancient castle located in the outskirts of Krokek. Local historian Arthur Nordén believes it could have served as a resting place for royal parties traveling the Eriksgata. The notion that it was used as a prison for the former Krokeks kloster is largely dismissed by Nordén as mere folklore.
