Åhus Castle was a medieval fortress built around 1200 in what is now Kristianstad Municipality in Skåne County, Sweden. The castle stood for nearly four centuries before its demolition in 1569. Today it survives as a registered archaeological monument in Fornminnesregistret, Sweden's official heritage register, preserving the memory of this once-significant stronghold in the region's military landscape.
