Castles and fortresses
We have seen a large number of castle, ruins, castles, fortresses in Sweden during our motorhome trips around the country, many of which are both stunningly beautiful and historically interesting. Imagine having so many amazing experiences in the world that we can be proud of! Many castles are open to visitors and can be viewed during guided tours.
There are so many gigantic, beautiful, cool castles and fortresses in the world and it's a good thing they still exist. Many have of course been renovated after the wars and what knowledge has been made that we can see them again in all their splendour. There are so many things that you are fascinated by, such as how the family was able to move on after all the diseases, wars and misery without penicillin. It is also crazy that they travelled as far as Africa by horse and cart, or sailed to the other side of the world and came back. Thank you for all the amazing artisans!
