More of Malmö…

Øresund Bridge:  The crossing is completed by the 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) Drogden Tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager. The Øresund Bridge is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe and connects two major metropolitan areas: Copenhagen, the Danish capital city, and the Swedish city of Malmö.

You can’t see it on the photo but you can make out the city of Copenhagen standing where I was.

Malmö Castle
The first castle was founded in 1434 by King Eric of Pomerania. This structure was partially demolished in early 16th century [1], and a new one was built in its place in the 1530s by King Christian III of Denmark. Historically, this fortress was one of the most important strongholds of Denmark.
The castle was for five years (1568–1573) the prison of James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell, third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots (this continues on Wikipedia)(if you want to read more)
