Borgholm Castle (Swedish: Borgholms slott) in Borgholm, Sweden, is today only a ruin of the fortress that was first built in the second half of the 13th century and rebuilt many times in later centuries.[1] It is linked to Halltorp estate, to the south. The castle was destroyed in a fire on 14 October 1806.
