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.

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
