In Borgholm is the church of Borgholm. To the east is the windmill Bjönhovda kvarnar. It is called the king of the mill, as it is the largest of the typical Öland windmills.

The main ferry between the Swedish mainland and the island of Öland went to the beginning of the 1970s from Borgholm. After the construction of the Öland bridge ( Ölandsbron ) of this ferry service was discontinued.
