Örbyhus Castle, Medieval castle in Tierp Municipality, Sweden
The stone complex includes a central medieval tower, multiple annexes, and an orangery within an extensive park near European route E4.
Johan Kristensson Vasa transformed the 14th-century estate into a fortified castle during the 15th century, establishing the core structure present today.
The castle underwent substantial renovations in the 1660s, converting the medieval fortress into a Baroque palace under the direction of architect Erik Dahlbergh.
Visitors can access the castle grounds and participate in guided tours that present the architectural elements from different historical periods.
King Eric XIV of Sweden spent his final days as a prisoner in this castle, where he died in 1577 under mysterious circumstances.
