Lyckå Castle ruins

Lyckå was a former Danish town in the Blekinge province , which is now part of Sweden . The city was located at the mouth of the Lyckebyån River and was first mentioned in documents in 1449.

The head of Lyckå County, which consisted of the eastern part of Blekinge, had his seat in Lyckå Castle. Today the castle is in ruins, but besides the ruins , the traces of the moats can still be seen. In the 16th century Lyckå was destroyed several times in fighting between Denmark and Sweden. For example, battles were fought here in 1507 and 1564. In 1600 the place lost its city ​​rights , because the Danish government set on the expansion of the newly created city of Kristianopel . A year later, the Danish King Christian IV ordered that the castle should be demolished and that the stones should be used to fortify Kristianopel. With the Peace of Roskilde in 1658 Lyckå fell to Sweden.

The place where Lyckå used to be is now Lyckeby, which has now merged with the city of Karlskrona .
