A fact book about the history of four of Öland's important ancient towns:
Sandby borg, Ismantorps borg, Sörby borg & Gråborg
Öland has 15 identifiable ancient castles today. They may originally have been as many as 20. Several of them have been farmed out. Today, Sörby Borg is barely identifiable in the landscape, having been cultivated for more than a thousand years. The cities that are worth a visit and study on site are so for various reasons. Eketorp's castle is reconstructed to its original appearance.
Sandby castle with the now partially excavated massacre of the inhabitants ca. 480 AD. Ismantorp's castle with around 80 well-preserved house foundations and nearby Skede bog, which is Sweden's largest find of weapon sacrifices and animal sacrifices, plus the Hippodrome for horse races.
