Lundagård (castle)
Lundagård (Swedish: Lundagård, Danish: Lundegaard),[1] located in what is now Sweden, was in the Middle Ages a castle for the Danish archbishop of Lund, whose archbishopric between 1103 and 1160 stretched from the North German coast all the way up to the Arctic.[2][3][4]
Lundagård was built around the year 1000 and was surrounded by a defensive wall with towers and inside, on the courtyard, there were stables, barns, sheds and two large stone houses. One was the residence, the other a "knight's hall" used for representation.[5] Within the wall were also gardens, the royal mint and the bishop's church, which in the early 12th century was rebuilt into Lund cathedral.[6]
Lundagård lost its importance during the Danish Reformation and was replaced by a royal residence, Kongehuset (in Danish) or later, called Kungshuset in Swedish.[7][8]
