Kärnan Tower in Helsingborg

Helsingborg's medieval keep, completed around 1320 and still the city's landmark above the Sound.

From the story: Kärnan: Helsingborg's Medieval Keep In series: Castles & Fortresses The tall square brick keep of Kärnan rises from a grassy mound in Helsingborg, its crenellated top flying a Swedish flag against a bright blue spring sky, with a wooden stair climbing to its arched doorway.
