Ebeltoft - Kalø Castle

(Local Name: Slot) The A15 runs from Århus to Ronde and from there a road leads southeast to Ebeltoft. To the right on a spit of land projecting into Kalø Bay can be seen the ruins of Kalo Castle (Kalø Slot), built in 1314 by King Erik Menved. At one time it was joined to the mainland by a drawbridge. Gustav Vasa, later King of Sweden, was held prisoner here in 1518, but escaped. On the return journey the visitor will enjoy a view of the peninsula of Mols.
