Description

Brömsebäck is a historic site in many ways. Today it is possibly best known for being the place where arch enemies Denmark and Sweden signed a peace treaty on 13 August 1645, heralding the start of Sweden’s Age of Greatness. In the First World War, a memorial stone was raised here which still stands on an island in the river. But Brömsebäck played an important role even further back in time as it marked the border between Denmark and Sweden. This is where the Danish defensive fortress Brömsehus was built back in the fourteenth century. The fortress was on higher ground than the surrounding terrain and surrounded by a palisade and moat. From here, the Danes had a lookout over the Kalmar Sound and its maritime traffic. Brömsehus was seized and burned in 1436 and as late as the nineteenth century steps could still be seen leading to a collapsed cellar but nothing of this is visible any longer.
