Standing on the historic islet of Riddarholmen, Birger Jarl's Tower is a compelling symbol of Stockholm's medieval legacy. Despite its name, it wasn’t built by Birger Jarl himself, but rather in the 16th century to fortify the city’s defenses. Today, its rounded brick walls and conical roof stand out against the surrounding waters, offering captivating views of the Old Town skyline. Nearby, you can explore the stately Riddarholm Church or enjoy a leisurely walk along the waterfront. While tours inside the tower are limited, the exterior is a must-see for those seeking to immerse themselves in Sweden’s royal and historical heritage.
