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.

The Church of the Holy Cross

The church of the former Franciscan monastery was built probably between 1515 and 1520. It is located in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Rauma. The church stands by the small stream of Raumanjoki (Rauma river).

The exact age of the Church of the Holy Cross is unknown, but it was built to serve as the monastery church of the Rauma Franciscan Friary. The monastery had been established in the early 15th century and a wooden church was built on this location around the year 1420.

The Church of the Holy Cross served the monastery until 1538, when it was abandoned for a hundred years as the Franciscan friary was disbanded in the Swedish Reformation. The church was re-established as a Lutheran church in 1640, when the nearby Church of the Holy Trinity was destroyed by fire.

The choir of the two-aisle grey granite church features medieval murals and frescoes. The white steeple of the church was built in 1816 and has served as a landmark for seafarers.
