Very nice castle with a calm park around it! A hidden gem worth the bicycle ride.

Drive to the place, surroundings are pretty, but nothing much to explore once you reach there, but looks like a postcard

I took the hike from the town to the castle following the blue dot. Such a nice walk, apart of the mosquitoes attacks. When I was there was not possible to visit the castle, but I took a detour at the coffee place near it- love place with delicious cakes. Not to mention the cozy atmosphere and the cute decorations

Bogesund Castle is a former manor in municipality of Vaxholm and it is close to Vaxholms golf club. It is located in the center of the Bogesundslandet nature reserve. The castle was built in the 1640s and rebuilt in 19th century. It is an interesting place to visit.

The building itself is nice, but looks like abandoned from outside, they could take a bit better care of it. The nature around is beautiful, but there is better around Stockholm.
