Malmö Castle

Malmö Castle (Malmöhus) is a Renaissance-era brick castle on a small island in Malmö, Sweden, now housing museum collections. The surviving complex includes a long rectangular main building, curtain walls and a surrounding moat, with ancillary buildings such as the Commandant's House and the Castle Mill nearby.

As it stood in 1540

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, rectangular red-brick main building with regularly spaced windows and a pronounced stepped-gable roofline faces a wide water-filled moat. In the foreground a low, cylindrical red tower sits on its own islet with small rectangular embrasures and a shallow metal roof. Thick curtain walls connect the tower and main block; a stone bridge or causeway crosses the moat. Reed beds fringe the water and the castle’s brick surfaces reflect in the moat.
