Näs Castle Ruin
Näs slott
The ruins of a medieval royal palace at the southern tip of Visingsö, where several Swedish kings lived in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Näs Castle was one of Sweden’s earliest royal palaces, home to kings of the Sverker and Erik dynasties. It was destroyed by fire in 1318, and today only the remaining walls and foundations along the lakeshore survive. Surrounded by water on three sides, it offers wide views. It sits at the southernmost tip of Visingsö, about 30 minutes by bicycle from the pier, and makes a good endpoint for a cycle around the island.
