South of Hammersta farm you will find this old castle ruin from Hammerstahus from the 14th century. It is believed that the castle was built by knight Eringisle Nilsson the elder in the 14th century. The entrance to the castle was quite high off the ground, only accessible by a wooden staircase that could be hoisted up. The castle was abandoned in the 15th century, but the base layer with meter thick walls is still left. In the nature reserve, there are also four cemeteries and three ancient castles.
