Chanced upon this castle during a visit to the Christmas market that was held on the estate. The outdoor Christmas market itself was simple with a small range of handicrafts, accessories, Christmas food and two food stalls with (hotdogs and burgers). Cost 100SEK for vehical entry to the grounds. The castle looks newer on the outside. The interiors of the building are antiquated, fascinating and feels almost medieval. Like many old castles, it is dim within as there are few windows that let in light. The walls and flooring are made of stone, giving the place an even icier effect in winter. There are 3 floors - a chapel and a smaller cafe on the ground floor, the second floor is a hall and on the third, there is another cafe that is larger and a restaurant. Although, there wasn't very much to do here, it was interesting to experience this castle that holds so much history. The staff are welcoming and cheerful and we had a nice fika of hot gulasch soup and tea.

We drove there yesterday for the Christmas market. We were asked to pay 100 sek for parking and then had to find out that all the vendors were already closing up half an hour early. The place was deserted and very disappointing. I recommend going to the market in town instead.

We just had a wander around the outside of this castle at night, so can’t talk for the inside, but it is a beautiful building. It looks well preserved, and they’ve obviously put some effort into keeping it up. I’m not sure you’d have a thrilling day out here, but you could fill a few hours I think!

Lovely spot to walk around with beautiful nature all around. Took a hike in the forest which had a great trail for hiking, mountain biking, riding. Very quiet and peaceful and I could have my dog off the leash. Several really nice cafes in the area - I can especially recommend Josephine Bakers cafe ❤️

Was really a beautiful place outside of the castle as it was closed although google said it should be open.
