Lövstad Castle

Norrköping, Sweden

Lövstad Castle has its origins from the 15th century, but the present building was erected by Axel Lillie in the 17th century. It came to the von Fersen Family through Hedvig Catharina De la Gardie (who was the heir of her mother Hedvig Catharina Lillie) and to the Piper Family through Sophie Piper, who was sister to count Axel von Fersen.

The interior is intact since 1926, when the last owner died. Lövstad is today a museum open to the public with guided tours. There is a café and a restaurant at the castle.

Beautiful grounds with so many flowers in the summer months. We enjoyed a very delicious lunch with well prepared and presented unique twist on the Swedish staples.

A pretty castle located in a beautiful landscape just two minutes from E4. The Inn had a very good lunch menu at decent prices, served by friendly staff in a calm environment.

Beautiful place. They have a lovely outdoor café next to a nursery with beautiful plants and flowers. There are two categories of castle tour. We managed to go on one - it's worth it. Food at the restaurant was good. Not too pricey. Very well maintained. Dogs are welcomed to the outdoor café and the castle garden and park.

Duino Castle

Duino Castle was built by the Wallsee family in 1389 on the cliffs overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. It replaced an older castle from the 11th century. Over time, the Wallsee family disappeared and the castle, after having been used as a prison, became the residence of the Luogar and Hofer.

At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis from the Czech branch of the House of Thurn and Taxis. It remains with the family to this day with his great-grandson Prince Carlo Alessandro della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino the current owner. The castle has been opened to the public as a museum and park.
