Teleborg Castle

Växjö, Sweden

Despite its middle-age style, the The Castle of Teleborg was built in 1900 by architect firm Lindvall & Boklund. The castle was built as a wedding present from count Fredrik Bonde af Björnö to his wife Anna Koskull. 17 years later the couple had died, and the castle was used as a hotel for young girls and for accommodation in general. In 1964 the city of Växjö bought it and the surrounding park from the Bonde family and is today mainly used for representation, weddings and conferences. Today, the castle is used by the city council for representational purposes, and the nearby university also uses some parts of the castle.

Lovely location and beautiful grounds. The castle is amazing. We stayed in the annex during our trip (mostly because of the private, in room bathroom - which didn’t turn out to be worth it) but but would stay in the castle proper if we came back. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the meal we had at the castle restaurant for dinner was very very good.

one of the most amazing places i have visited at night, try to reach there at night and look at the beauty. Take a walk in the garden around and listen to the birds. There is a lot of benches to sit there with the family.

I gave the place only three stars not because is not beautiful but most because you have no chance to visit it ! The swedish used the reception off the entrance for a restaurant with expectations for one " Fancy" but...... it's a long way upp to the top !

Super friendly Staff Although Covid Pandemic!! They always smiled to me. Very Delicious breakfast. The menu is no different from other hotels, but it was excellent in quality. The antique atmosphere of the castle, the traces of time, were all good. The lake, the trees, the park. Everything was good. This hotel is unforgettable!!

Beautiful little castle in what feels like the middle of the city. Suddenly you are in the typical Swedish countryside with woods and lakes. Great for taking a walk and getting some food at either the castle or the lakeside pub. Will definitely have to go again and stay for lunch. Food options seem reasonable priced.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
