It is a restaurant named after a famous prisoner called Lasse-Maja. He managed to escape from the prison on the island Marstrand and became the chef here.
There are a lot of old nice houses on the island where you can stroll around and enjoy the views. Small shops are situated along the roads and when you are there you have to stop for an ice-cream.
After a delicious ice-cream it is time to climb up to see the castle.
At the highest point of Marstrands Island on the west coast of Sweden, Carlstens Fortress sits on its pinnacle. The great guardian has protected the little wooden town below for over 300 years.
Lars Larsson Molin, alias Lasse-Maja ( 5 October 1785 – 4 June 1845), was a notorious Swedish thief. He was famous in history for disguising himself as a woman during his tours as a thief. His disguise gave him the nickname Lasse-Maja, a combination of the male name Lars and the female name Maja. He wrote his own memoirs, which became very popular in 19th-century Sweden
These days the fortress is a captivating place to visit. You can sense the fascinating past of the fortress as a line of defense and a jail for notorious prisoners, but you can also stay overnight here, go to concerts and take part in other events.
Thankyou for watching, don’t forget to subscribe.
