Little is known about its actual location, but the remains found here near H\u00f6kerum and Lake Mogden are believed to be the right place. The fortification was of the kind known as a motte-and-bailey castle. This was a wooden or stone fortress situated on an area of artificially raised ground with the supporting building located on the lower ground around the raised mound. The medieval fortifications at V\u00e4dersholm did not coexist with Fagran\u00e4s, these are of a more recent origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

eventually take you to a small parking lot and an enclosure.

It is a nice walk and even though the trees interfere with the view towards Lake Mogden there is still nice scenery to enjoy. Some places require a quite vivid imagination to come back to life and this is for sure one of those places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped
