Translation:
Around 1180 the first tower was built, as a protection from pirates. At the end of the 13th century, Magnus Ladulås [The king of Sweden at that time] had a wall and a fort built in connection with this tower. It was the most modern fortress in Sweden during this time. But it was during the reign of the Wasa family in the 16th century, that the castle got it's current look. They wanted a modern renaissance castle, influenced by the architecture from the continental Europe.
