About the harbour

Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 28 September 2026

Gamla hamnen on Visingsö is a small historic guest and small-boat harbour on Lake Vättern, situated just below the ruins of Visingsborg Castle, close to where the large ferry docks. The harbour dates back to the 1600s, when Per Brahe the Younger established the island's first harbour by the castle's water gate in 1642.

The harbour offers seven guest berths in total: five where you can moor with mooring lines and two with lashing loops.

Next to the harbour there is a barbecue area where you can enjoy a meal with a view of the historic surroundings. At the guest harbour you also have access to bicycle rental, a playground, and several restaurants.

The small, pleasant sandy beach near the harbour invites a refreshing swim or a picnic in the historic setting around the castle ruins. Moor at Gamla hamnen, explore the ruins of Visingsborg Castle, and round off the day with a barbecue overlooking Lake Vättern.
