Kärnan, the medieval tower, Helsingborg, Sweden >> HFF - HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY

Kärnan, the medieval tower, Helsingborg, Sweden >> HFF - HAPPY FENCE FRIDAY
Kärnan is a medieval tower in Helsingborg, Scania, in southern Sweden. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite of Øresund, controlled the entranceway between Kattegat and Øresund and further south the Baltic Sea.

The origins of the Helsingborg fortress is disputed but Danish legend places its origin to the reign of the legendary King Fróði. However, this legend has not been supported by archaeological proof. Dendrochronological dating has shown that the core was built in the 1310s, when Eric VI of Denmark was King of Denmark. It was considered the most important fortress in Denmark, and was integral in securing control over the strait between Scania and Zealand.

Der grüne Rasen setzt dem mürrischen Himmel ein wenig entgegen. Und der Turm trotzt sowieso allem.

Der Rasen war nicht so richtig grün, schon im März war in Schweden (Stockholm) sehr warm und ohne Regen. Der Rasen war ausgetrocknet... bis wir gekommen sind, da kam der Regen und Kälte.

A terrific capture Andre and a impressive looking tower. It looks pretty much intact. By the steps outside I take it you are able to go inside? It sound like it has had an interesting history. HFF and have a good weekend. Best wishes Carol

Carol, no, I did not climb up. We were in the group and moreover the tower was closed that day. I believe that the tower is symbol of the city of Helsingborg.
