Even Google told me, it isn't open, it was. I was a little surprised, that the castle wasn't full of furniture in every room. I guess it depends on, that there are no original furniture left. Anyway they made a nice exhibition. Only the second floor is museum. On the first floor is a café (which will open 14th June = 2022) and on the third floor is a kind of school, where everyone for free can try different technics of handkrafts and the like. This was not running as well.

Not as beautiful scenery as the other castles around Södermanland but worth a trip.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
