Kärnan III

Kärnan (the tower on the top) is a medieval tower in Helsingborg city. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite bank of the Øresund, controlled the entranceway between the Kattegat and the Øresund and further south the Baltic Sea.
Dendrochronological dating has shown that the tower was built in the 1310s. It was surrendered to Sweden along with the rest of Skåneland as part of the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. King Charles XI of Sweden ordered most of the fortress demolished fearing that it was too exposed to a sneak attack from Denmark. The only thing that was saved for posterity was the old medieval tower core.
The tower became slowly a ruin and was restored during 1893–94. The stairs and the terraces up to the tower were built in 1903.
