Dalaborg Castle Ruins
Description
The Dalaborg Castle was built in 1304 by dukes Erik and Valdemar (the sons of Magnus Ladulås) during the war against the king Birger. The castle was destroyed in 1434 in the so-called Engelbrekt uprising. The Queen Margareta, regent of Norway and Denmark, was named also as a regent of Sweden in Dalaborg in 1388.
Today the moat, ramparts, a terrace and the cellar of a blockhouse remain of castle. A model of Dalaborg before it was destroyed can be seen at Mellerud Museum.
