Hello lads, if you can hear me over the wind, I'm checking in from Brauhus in Ostrajataland in Sweden.
Absolutely magic place.
You can see the extra material I've filmed here.
Shots on with the drone as well.
Behind us we have the sacred lake of Veten and you probably can't see it, but there is Wilsing as well, which I will show a bit more of later.
Absolutely aesthetic.
Rocking the royal fleur-de-lis to shut to optimize the gloriousness of this occasion.
So again, this camera, this video material, it doesn't quite do justice to exactly how epic this scene is, but this magic place.
So yeah, here we are.
Good stuff.
Good times.
Brahus was built by Perebrae the Younger in 1637.
Perebra the Younger was the grandson of Perebra the Older, hence the distinction.
He served under the great Gustavus Adolphus during the Thirty Years' War.
He also served as general governor of Finland.
All right, so I'm actually checking in from the oak forest I mentioned in a recent video.
So during the 1800s the Swedish crown wanted oak forests to build ships and they planted a lot of them in Wilsingse, here in Vetten, and of course now they are ripe for harvest, but you don't really build ships in oak anymore, but they have other uses.
But yeah, good stuff, good stuff.
Low time preference.
Now I'm checking in from the castle of The Singse.
This particular castle was actually built during the 1500s by the powerful Brahe family same bra as I just showed on the other side of the lake.
So the on the mainland in Ostrajatland now the lake itself, or the island, has always been quite important because it's central, it's in between Östrajataland and Westrajataland and back in the day the two Jörtalands, so Goth lands.
They were more civilized or advanced than Svialand.
So that's where Stockholm is, today Svijaland.
And since it was in between Westrajataland, western Gothland and the eastern part, it was a strategic position to take.
So that's also why this island was smack bang in the middle of it all.
So we're gonna get a closer look at the castle.
Come along, my dear subscribers.
This is top quality historical content.
I'm bringing you straight from the ground.
So here we are.
Look at that magnificent hall.
I will actually film it directly.
Alright, so perhaps it doesn't look so impressive on the video, but it looks cool enough from here at least.
So yeah, I will have a little look around and see absorb its sense of historical destiny.
Behind me we have Alvastra Klosterin, ruins of a monastery erected in 1143 by some French monks, and he had a prosperous monastery here up until the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s.
