Hultaby Borg Castle Ruin

Believing legends so was Hultaby castle in existents during the age of Vikings. This is not to take to seriously. The numbers of tombs from the Nordic Iron Age and also rune-stones, located in the area, may have influenced such stories. Hultaby castle, or Hultaboda ö (medieval name),
is today a ruin just outside Vetlanda (Småland,Sweden). By natural land elevation and by human activity to gain land for farming, are the location no longer anything like an island (ö=island). The construction started as believed in the latter part of 13th century. It was probably burnt down
during the troubled times in the 1360-s. Then was the possessor taking sides in the struggle of the Swedish crown. A accidental fire are of course also possible, who really can say? Hultaby has here been recreated as an 3D-model. The embedded video depicts todays ruin.
