Brokind Castle, Manor house in Linköping Municipality, Sweden.

Brokind Castle is a manor house in Linköping Municipality comprising a main stone building with two flanking wings painted in light tones. The three structures form a cohesive architectural ensemble set in the surrounding landscape.

A medieval fortress at this location belonged to Bo Jonsson Grip in the 14th century and later passed to the Natt och Dag family for several generations. After fire destroyed it in 1726, the Falkenberg family commissioned the present stone building.

The name Brokind replaced the earlier village name Broo when the estate was formed. The medieval cemetery of Broo still lies in the oak meadow near the castle. Since 1706 the estate has belonged to the Falkenberg family, who own it today.

The manor stands on islets at the outlet of the Stångån river from Lake Järnlunden, about 30 km from Linköping. Brokind Lock lies next to the castle. The grounds include a castle park with a summerhouse and many outbuildings.

The medieval castle that burned in 1726 was still defended by a round tower at the turn of the 18th century, as shown in Erik Dahlbergh's Suecia antiqua et hodierna. The present manor, built 1727–1731, kept the site on islands at the outlet of the Stångån from Lake Järnlunden. A prehistoric burial ground from the abandoned village of Broo remains in the oak meadow near the castle.
