Societetshuset at Marstrand
The Societshuset 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 central point for social life and cultural events, and today is an important landmark that recalls Marstrand’s prosperous time as a health resort and exclusive summer residence. The Societetshuset on Marstrand was built in 1856 and was built to function 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. Conceived as a venue for cultural and social events, it quickly became an important center of social life on the island. People from the Swedish aristocracy and also international guests gathered here, who enjoyed music, dancing, dinners and other social events.

Carlstens Fortress – A Symbol of Marstrand’s Military History
One of Marstrand’s most famous and impressive buildings is Carlstens Fortress, which was built in the 17th century. The fortress was part of Sweden’s military defense line and had strategic importance during several wars, especially during the Great Nordic War. The fortress was also a symbol of royal exercise of power and was used as a prison for prisoners who were considered to be politically sensitive, including during the Swedish great power era. Today, Carlstens Fortress 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 legacy and look forward to continuing to offer a place of recovery for many years to come.
