Societetshuset on Marstrand
Societetshuset on Marstrand is one of the island’s most iconic buildings and a place with a long and interesting history. Over the years, the building has been a focal point for social life and cultural events, and is today an important landmark that recalls Marstrand’s flourishing time as a health resort and exclusive summer residence. Societetshuset on Marstrand was built in 1856 and was designed to serve as a meeting place for the emerging society during Marstrand’s heyday as a health resort.

The building was designed in a style that would reflect the elegance and prosperity of the time. It was intended as a venue for cultural and social events, and quickly became an important center of social life on the island. It was a gathering place for Swedish aristocracy and international guests, who enjoyed music, dancing, dinners and other social events.

Carlstens Fästning – A Symbol of Marstrand’s Military History
One of Marstrand’s most famous and impressive buildings is Carlstens Fästning, built in the 17th century. The fortress was part of Sweden’s military defense line and had a strategic importance during several wars, especially during the Great Northern War. The fortress was also a symbol of royal power and was used as a prison for prisoners who were considered to be politically sensitive, including during the Swedish Empire. Today, Carlstens Fästning is a popular tourist attraction and one of Marstrand’s most visited places. The fortress offers both guided tours and spectacular views of the archipelago and the North Sea.

We are proud to be part of Marstrand’s historic heritage and look forward to continuing to offer a place of recovery for many years to come.
