Lonely Planet review for Kärnan
Dramatic steps and archways lead up from Stortorget to the square tower Kärnan, all that remains of the medieval castle. The castle became Swedish property during the 17th-century Danish-Swedish War, and was mostly demolished once the fighting stopped. The tower was restored from dereliction in 1894, and the view from the top (34m) is regal indeed.
