We went to Varberg to visit Varbers Kurort, one of two famous spa’s in the town. On our way home we also visited the old fortress that was built in 1287-1300 by Count Jacob Nielsen to protect against the Danish. It has changed hands multiple times but has remained as Swedish since the Treaty of Brömsebro in 1645. It was in use up until 1931 when it served as a prison.
