Lillö Ruin is the ruin of a medieval castle, located in Kristianstad municipality, Scania, Sweden.[1]
Not much is known of the earliest history of Lillö ("Little island"). A fortress was built there, probably as early as the late 13th century. The fortress was gradually improved to become more of a castle, Lillöhus.[2] In the war of 1657 - 1658 Denmark lost the province of Scania to Sweden and Lillöhus was demolished. It has remained a ruin ever since. The fields and wetlands surrounding the ruin are rich in bird life.
