Monuments to visit Tønsberg

Tønsberg was an important trading centre. Located in the town centre, it is the ruins of the most important Scandinavian castle built in the 13th century for King Håkon Håkonsson and his son, Magnus Lagabøter, and destroyed in 1503. Part of the castle walls and fortifications remain, as well as an observation tower, the royal hall and the church dating from 1191. Entrance fee required. A visit not to be missed if you decide to pass through the very charming town of Tønsberg.
