Description
Welcome to Dalaborg, an important site in Sweden’s history
Dalaborg was constructed in connection with conflicts between the sons of KingMagnus Ladulås, namely Birger, Erik and Valdemar.The latter two planned a western Nordic kingdom with fortresses around southern Lake Vänern, with Lödöse as a capital city. The Chronicle of Duke Erik (Erikskrönikan)recounts that the peasants were forced to work night and day on construction of the fortress. Already the same year, King Birger attacked Dalaborg and a peace treaty was signed. In 1308, Norwegian forces lay siege to the fortress, but without success.
