Skokloster Castle, Baroque castle near Lake Mälaren, Sweden.
Skokloster Castle stands on a peninsula between Stockholm and Uppsala, featuring four corner towers and extensive collections of historical artifacts.
Construction of the castle began in 1654 under Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel, with architects Casper Vogell and Jean de la Vallée contributing to its design.
