The light to guide your way
In the rather steep, and with some of the highest steps I've ever come across, central stairs of the medieval castle Glimmingehus.
Glimmingehus is a late medieval castle built 1499-1505 in what was then Denmark and now Sweden. It was built for Jens Holgersen Ulfstand, by the master builder and stonemason Adam van Düren (who also did some of the decorations inside the castle). Adam was most likely from Westphalia but worked for several decades in Denmark and Sweden, perhaps most famously at Lund cathedral.
The house is one of most well preserved medieval castles in Scandinavia - but due to the lateness of the building date it soon went out of fashion and was subsequently turned into a grain storage. It was donated to the Swedish state in 1924 and turned into a museum.
