Even Google told me, it isn't open, it was. I was a little surprised, that the castle wasn't full of furniture in every room. I guess it depends on, that there are no original furniture left. Anyway they made a nice exhibition. Only the second floor is museum. On the first floor is a café (which will open 14th June = 2022) and on the third floor is a kind of school, where everyone for free can try different technics of handkrafts and the like. This was not running as well.

Not as beautiful scenery as the other castles around Södermanland but worth a trip.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
