Almnäs Castle, 18th-century castle in Hjo Municipality, Sweden

The castle stands near a lake cove in Västergötland, featuring Baroque architectural elements and surrounded by an established park covering the grounds.

General Wolter Reinhold Stackelberg initiated the construction of the castle between 1773 and 1776, establishing it as a residence for noble families.

The property represents Swedish architectural traditions from the late 1700s, incorporating design elements common among the nobility of that period.

The castle remains a private residence located 5 kilometers south of Hjo, with no public access to its interior or surrounding grounds.

Gustaf Sparre, who became the first speaker of the Swedish Parliament, owned this castle after purchasing it in 1859.
