This magnificent town gate is called Västerport (The West Gate) or Högvakten (The Main Guard). Completed in 1658, it was the main entry to Kvarnholmen right up to 1870.
During the last few hundred years, a great number of the men of Kalmar have been employed in building ships at 'Varvsholmen' (the 'Ship Yard Island') for Swedish as well as foreign ship owners. It is their history and at the same time the shipping history of Kalmar, which is exhibited at the Kalmar Maritime Museum. Seamen of all categories and their families have generously contributed to the creation of this museum by donating objects of many kinds.
In the heart of Kalmar, a short distance from the imposing Kalmar Castle, lies the quaint Old Town, offering a glimpse into the city's truly ancient past. Characterised by narrow, winding lanes and impeccably preserved 17th-century red-and-white cottages and buildings, this enclave transports visitors to a bygone era. The Old Town arose from the ashes of the original medieval settlement, which succumbed to fire in the 1600s and stands as a charming testament to Kalmar's historical roots.
Kalmar City Park is situated beside the castle. Johan Jeansson, a merchant of the town, a bust of whom has stood in the park since 1937, was the driving force behind the park project, and his donation enabled the park to be laid out between 1877 and 1880. The old 'Vasa' monument also stands here, moved from Stensö in 1879.
Skälby is one of the many green areas located close to the city. The animals and well-preserved buildings of the 4H farm offer the feel of an old farm. The area is child-friendly, closed to traffic, and features a large playground. Visit the rabbits, pigs, cows, chickens, and many other animals that call this place home.
