Isn't it unique with a castle in the city?! To answer your question, Sam, the castle was built (or at least the foundation of it) in the 1200th century. During many many years they added towers, walls and so on, so there's no specific year on when it was built.
It's been used by kings and gueens and as a prison a long time ago. Today it's being used for many different events here in Kalmar. I'm actually gonna work at one of the events (China Baltic Sea Buisness Forum) at the end of the week, and will be walking around in the castle. That's gonna be pretty cool.

As you can see, I'm in school now and won't just give you a simple answer =)

Love, Kicki
