It was built in 1851 on the area of the former bastion Stenbock. Between 1879 and 1895, Slottsmöllan's millstones were powered by a steam engine, then up to 1930 again with wind power. The regular operation was discontinued in 1945 and the mill was now subject of the museum administration.

 

The mill and the adjoining house of the miller, including the garden, are fully furnished and show the living and working conditions of a miller's family from the 19th century. The place around the mill is frequently used for open-air concerts and other events during the summer months.

Malmö Castle was built in the 1530s by King Christian III of Denmark. Historically, this fortress was one of the most important strongholds of Denmark.

 

The castle was for five years (1568–1573) the prison of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. The earl was taken into custody on the orders of the Protestant Danish king Frederick II of Denmark when his ship ran aground in Bergen, Norway during a storm. He was sent to Malmö Castle to be imprisoned, although he had previously been released from Tower of London for lack of evidence in the murder of Mary's second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley.[3] As a bachelor, Frederick II courted Elizabeth I of England and was made a Knight of the Garter.

Some sources suggest a second reason for the involvement in this matter by the Danish king; he is thought to have held hopes of collecting a ransom from Scotland. However, the Earl of Bothwell died in 1578 in Dragsholm Castle, Zealand, where he had been moved after the first five years in Danish captivity, without ever being the subject of Danish-Scottish negotiations for his release.

Slottsparken a canal in Kungsparken a park which surrounds Malmöhus Castle, in Malmö the capital of Scania, Øresund, Sweden.

 

Before the Palace Park was created, the site was a military training area for the Crown Prince's house rules. One would create a large cohesive green area on the left-hand land. In 1896 a large exhibition and exhibition in Malmö was organized and in connection with the exhibition, a smaller planting was done along Fersen's road. After the exhibition, it was decided that all old military land would be converted into park area. One turned to Danish landscape architect Edvard Glæsel. Glory's proposal was to transform the swampy military field into a park for all ages and social classes inspired by US landscape architect Olmsted. The work of the castle park began in 1897 and the park opened in 1900. The castle park has a total area of 21 hectares, comprising large forest areas and open grass areas, toboggan runs, lookouts and a variety of seating.

 

In the central part of the park at the larger pond, since 1950, the statue " Man and Pegasus " has been created by Carl Milles, which will symbolize the free thought. Along the canal you will find the statue "Landscape girl" created by the Swedish artist Gerhard Henning.

 

The heart of the park is the Saturday plan, which is used today for concerts and other events. It has an area of 2,500 square meters in a beautiful lawn and is a suitable place for big parties. 1985-1987 the park was raging down the canal. One had to replace all the rails and supply them with new rails.

 

The cart was also in need of refurbishment. In 1988, the little Japanese garden was restored, which was founded by city gardener Birger Myllenberg. The little dam needed a refurbishment during the 1980s. The environment was getting worse. A renovation and the renewal was carried out 1991-1992 inspired by rockeries, which were often part of the early 20th century city parks. Stones, plants, and water in new combinations became the basic idea of the concept developed by the artist Helge Lundström. A small, white-flowered garden and many unusual pines have also been added to the plant. During winters the little pond is adorned with fine light decorations.

So, you'd think a medieval fortress would have a lot of medieval fortress rooms? Not this one. Almost the entire building had been redesigned for museum purposes, so there were only 3 rooms like this one. And finding them was a bit of a hazzle.

Eric of Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden (at that time a unified kingdom), built a castle on the site now occupied by Malmöhus in 1434. The strategic location was of great importance. From here, the west side of the city could be protected and shipping traffic on the southern part of the Öresund monitored.

Castle mill in Malmö

Slottsmöllan in Malmö is a historical smock mill located in the garden of Malmöhus slott which was built in 1851 on the area of the former bastion Stenbock.

Architecture in Malmö...Sweden.

 

The foundation of the oldest Renaissance castle in Scandinavia was laid in 1436 during the regency of Eric of Pomerania. He built a citadel, most of which was later destroyed. In 1537, the Danish king Christian III built a new castle, which was finished in 1542. The castle was built according to the stylistic ideals of the Renaissance. The glory days of the castle were in that period, when the royal family was often in residence. When Malmö became Swedish in 1658, it no longer served as a royal castle and the defensive functions of the castle were instead reinforced by the Swedish military forces. The fortress became outmoded in the 18th century and was instead used as a prison until 1914. The castle was extensively restored in the late 1920s. Malmö Museums took over the castle buildings, which were supplemented with a modern addition. Malmö Museums opened their new premises in 1937, which still hold some of the museum's collections.

  

Gamla Staden (Old town) a district of Malmö the capital of Scania, in Øresund, Sweden.

 

It contains many Malmö's historical buildings compared to the other modernised districts. The main squares Stortorget and Gustav Adolf Torg are connected by Södergatan, the shopping street of Malmö. In addition to a variety of shops, boutiques and department stores there are two shopping centres located in the old town.

 

The largest square in Malmö is the Stortorget, built in 1540. At its east side there is the old Town Hall of Malmö, built in 1544–1547. In the centre of the square stands a large equestrian statue of King Karl X Gustav. The Lilla Torg is framed by beautiful old buildings and just a few steps away from Stortorget.

 

The building complex Tunneln in Adelsgatan is the oldest surviving building in Malmö and is located about 100 meters north from the Stortorget. The cross vaulted cellars of the building date back to the late 13th century. A few hundred meters to the east you find the oldest half-timbered house in Malmö, the Thottska huset which was built in 1558. The neighbouring Diedenska huset was built in 1620.

 

The most impressive medieval building in Gamla staden is Kocksa huset. This palace was built in 1522–1524 by the mighty Danish mint master and later mayor of Malmö, Jörgen Kock. The complex consists of three buildings and is located in the northwest corner of Stortorget.

 

Gustav Adolf Torg is located at the southern end of the old town. It is the second largest square in Malmö and was named after King Gustav IV Adolf, who lived in 1806/07 for several months in the city of Malmö. During this time the city became temporarily the Swedish capital. Just a few hundred meters away is the old cemetery of Malmö, on the edge of the sprawling Kungsparken, which leads you to Malmöhus Slott.
