Kalmar is a city in Småland in the south-east of Sweden, situated by the Baltic Sea.
Kalmar Castle was built during the 13th century on the southeastern coast of Sweden. It is believed that its main tower or keep may have been built before 1250. Its original purpose was to serve as protection against pirates and other enemies from the sea. In 1397, Kalmar Castle was the site of the signing of the Union of Kalmar. This united the Nordic countries of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark under a common regent, Erik of Pomerania.
