Kavlås Castle

Kavlås Castle is a three-story stone building in Tidaholm that blends Rococo and Gustavian styles. The structure features symmetrical facades, ornamental details, and stands within grounds surrounded by woodlands and lakes.

The first mention of this location dates to the late 14th century, though the current building was constructed between 1750 and 1775 under Baron Fredric Ulric von Essen. This construction period gave it the classical style that defines it today.

The castle reflects how Swedish nobility lived and shaped the region around it. Its rooms tell the story of the tastes and daily habits of the families who called it home.

The castle offers accommodation within its restored historic rooms and sits among forests and lakes worth exploring. Daytime visits work best to appreciate the architectural details and grounds.

The interior retains original 18th-century elements including hand-crafted fireplace surrounds and painted wood paneling on the walls. These details showcase the craftsmanship that went into the interior finishes.
