Bergkvara Slottsruin is located about 5 kilometers west of the outskirts of Växjö, situated on a small island in the lake Bergkvarasjön. It is the ruin of the fortified manor of the grange Bergkvara and was built around 1470.

In the 15th century, Bergkvara was one of the largest private estates in Scandinavia, owned by Arvid Trolle. Arvid was also known as "rich Arvid" and was one of the richest men of his time.

The building of today's castle ruin was called a "solid house" – a large stone house, which was a combination of a luxurious residential building and a defense system, at a time almost all buildings were still made of wood. It was at least six stories high, had two meters thick walls, and was surrounded by a double moat.
