The decay of the castle ruins has been going on for a long time.
Last year, SVT reported how the owner, Statens Fastighetsverk, was on site to take an inventory ahead of the season opening.
Then they managed to fix the immediate dangers in the form of cracks and loose stones, but the budget to really renovate has not existed.
To stop the decline, it was then said that you would need between seven and eight million, but instead you have had to patch and repair for about 300,000 kronor a year.
There is no money
And now the limit seems to have been reached.
A letter sent by SFV to the County Administrative Board in Kronoberg states that there is no money to secure the castle ruin in the long term and that it will be closed off completely from the financial year 2023.
To Smålandsposten, Kulturparken Småland's CEO Lennart Johansson comments on the matter.
- I think it is terribly bad that a rich country like Sweden should not be able to afford to take care of the cultural monuments that the state owns.
It's lousy.
