Sjöboholms sätesgård

On a cape in Oxhultasjön, close to Hishult, lie the majestic ruins of Sjöboholm Castle. The settlement is believed to date from the Middle Ages and was probably the main farm for Itzholte County – Denmark's equivalent to Bergslagen, with rich bog and iron ore deposits. Sjöboholmsvar is believed to have been in use until 1830 after which it was eventually abandoned. In 1929, the area was excavated. This is a quiet and soothing place, perfect for a picnic. A small parking lot is situated just a short walk from the ruins. You will find information signs and a picnic table here.
