Museum Tre Kronor

In the basement Museum Tre Kronor, you can see the foundations of 13th-century defensive walls and items rescued from the medieval castle during the 1697 fire. The museum also describes how the fire started (a fire watcher was off flirting with a kitchen maid) and explains rather vividly the meaning of 'run the gauntlet'.
