Bogesund Castle, Gothic castle in Vaxholm Municipality, Sweden.
The four-story castle stands on the Bogesundslandet peninsula, overlooking the main shipping channel that connects Stockholm through the archipelago.
Per Brahe the Younger constructed the castle in the 1640s, and architects Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander and Thor Medelplan transformed it into Gothic style during the 1860s.
The castle functions as a venue for weddings and social gatherings, maintaining its role as a center for community celebrations in Vaxholm Municipality.
Located 15 kilometers east of Stockholm, the castle sits within Bogesundslandet nature reserve, offering visitors access to walking paths and guided tours.
The castle features Norman architectural elements, including distinct towers and characteristic windows that resulted from its 19th-century reconstruction by Nils von Lantingshausen.
