The castle is a pretty cool place in Uppsala. Although it burnt down a long time ago, the building that is currently in its place is also worth visiting. Inside it is a art museu. The best part is that almost all parts are free to explore. Only the 4th story is a paid exhibit.

Outside theres multiple cannons aimed straight forward. Theres also a bell tower. Which was the original bell that was used in a building at the same location.

If you look closely, you might spot a brick structure, which the entire building is on top. This is what remained of the original building. It is sadly closed off. Most of it was destroyed after the fire. And that is the only...

Το Κάστρο της Ουψάλας (Uppsala Slott) είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα ιστορικά μνημεία της Σουηδίας, με πλούσια ιστορία που ξεκινά από τον 16ο αιώνα. Η κατασκευή του ξεκίνησε το 1549 με εντολή του βασιλιά Γουσταύου Α΄ Βάσα, σε μια περίοδο που η Σουηδία ενίσχυε την ισχύ της στην Ευρώπη. Το κάστρο ανεγέρθηκε στην κορυφή του λόφου Κασόσεν (Kasåsen), με σκοπό να λειτουργήσει τόσο ως οχυρό όσο και ως βασιλική κατοικία. Κατά τη διάρκεια των ετών, το κάστρο υπήρξε σκηνικό σημαντικών γεγονότων της σουηδικής ιστορίας. Το 1567, επί βασιλείας του Έρικ ΙΔ΄, σημειώθηκαν οι δολοφονίες των Στούρε, μια σειρά πολιτικών δολοφονιών που συγκλόνισαν το βασίλειο. Το 1630, ο βασιλιάς Γουσταύος Β΄ Αδόλφος ανακοίνωσε από το κάστρο την απόφαση της Σουηδίας να συμμετάσχει στον Τριακονταετή Πόλεμο. Επιπλέον, το 1654, η βασίλισσα Χριστίνα υπέγραψε την παραίτησή της από το θρόνο στην Αίθουσα του Κράτους (Rikssalen) του κάστρου. Το 1702, μια μεγάλη πυρκαγιά κατέστρεψε μεγάλο μέρος της Ουψάλας, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του κάστρου. Η ανακατασκευή του ξεκίνησε δεκαετίες αργότερα, με τον αρχιτέκτονα Καρλ Χάρλεμαν να αναλαμβάνει το έργο. Ωστόσο, το κάστρο δεν επανήλθε ποτέ στην αρχική του μεγαλοπρέπεια. Κατά τον 19ο αιώνα, τμήματα του κάστρου χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ως οπλοστάσιο, σιταποθήκη και φυλακή. Σήμερα, το Κάστρο της Ουψάλας στεγάζει την κατοικία του κυβερνήτη της κομητείας Ουψάλας και φιλοξενεί τρία μουσεία: το Μουσείο Τέχνης της Ουψάλας, το Μουσείο Ειρήνης και το Βασαμπόργκεν (Vasaborgen), που παρουσιάζει τα ερείπια του αρχικού κάστρου. Η Νότια Πτέρυγα, με τους εννέα ορόφους της, παραμένει το υψηλότερο κτίριο της Ουψάλας και έχει χρησιμοποιηθεί στο παρελθόν ως φυλακή και υδατόπυργος. Το κάστρο προσφέρει πανοραμική θέα στην πόλη και βρίσκεται κοντά στον Βοτανικό Κήπο του Πανεπιστημίου της Ουψάλας, ο οποίος δημιουργήθηκε τον 18ο αιώνα σε γη που δώρισε ο βασιλιάς Γουσταύος Γ΄. Το Κάστρο της Ουψάλας αποτελεί ένα ζωντανό μνημείο της σουηδικής ιστορίας, συνδυάζοντας την αρχιτεκτονική κληρονομιά με τον πολιτιστικό πλούτο...

A historic bell that has some interesting history behind it. The bell was cast in 1588 by order of wife of King Johan III Gunilla Belke, as there is a corresponding inscription on its rim. The bell was intended for the chimes of the castle Church, and for more than a hundred years it struck the time on the South-Eastern tower of the castle. In 1702, a significant part of the castle was destroyed by fire and a belfry was built for the bell on the Stirbiscop Bastion. The bell rang early in the morning, announcing the start of a new day, and in the evening, after which the residents had to extinguish the fires and close the shutters on...
