点评:Kalmar Slott dates from the 12th century, and has an impressive island setting with classic fairytale appearance. For many years it served to guard the frontier with Denmark, until the Union of Kalmar in 1397, when the Danish Queen Margareta united Denmark, Sweden and Norway. It didn’t last, and the Swedish king, Gustav Vasa, took back Sweden in 1523. The Vasa dynasty (until 1654) restored the castle in Renaissance style, and that make-over is what you see today. It contains some interesting sights, from dodgy trompe à l’oeil, to skilled marquetry. Main rooms include; Queen’s Suite – note the 16th century bed, whose carved figures have had their noses amputated; the Golden Room, with intriguing portraits of the Vasa dynasty and a lavish ceiling; the King’s Chamber, rather, smaller, but richly decorated and with a secret door. The chapel is also worth a visit (had to go through Egyptian exhibition to get to it) with its stencilled decoration. NB One room references the one-time women’s prison, with unsettling photos.
There is a decent restaurant – we had wild boar for lunch.
翻译:卡尔马城堡始建于 12 世纪,拥有令人印象深刻的岛屿环境和经典的童话般的外观。多年来,它一直守卫着与丹麦的边境,直到 1397 年卡尔马联盟成立,丹麦女王玛格丽塔统一了丹麦、瑞典和挪威。但它并没有持续太久,瑞典国王古斯塔夫·瓦萨于 1523 年收回了瑞典。瓦萨王朝(直至 1654 年)以文艺复兴风格修复了这座城堡,这就是您今天所看到的样子。城堡里有一些有趣的景观,从狡猾的错视画到精湛的镶嵌工艺。主要房间包括:王后套房——请注意 16 世纪的床,其雕刻人物的鼻子已被截掉;黄金厅,里面有瓦萨王朝的迷人肖像和奢华的天花板;国王的房间较小,但装饰华丽,并设有一扇秘密门。小教堂也值得一游(得穿过埃及展览才能到达),因为那里有模版印刷的装饰。注意:其中一个房间提到了曾经的女子监狱,里面的照片令人不安。
这里有一家不错的餐厅——我们午餐吃了野猪。
