Edsberg Castle, Manor house and music academy in Sollentuna, Sweden.
Edsberg is a manor house with two symmetrical wings in French Rococo style, situated near Lake Edsviken and topped with a mansard roof. The property includes art galleries, a motorcycle museum, a wedding ceremony room, and public park areas along the lake shore.
The property began as a wooden structure in 1630 and was later acquired by Count Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna. In 1760, Thure Gustaf Rudbeck rebuilt it in stone, giving the site its current solid form.
The castle has been linked to music education since 1959, when the Royal College of Music began using its rooms for chamber music instruction. Visitors may encounter rehearsals or small performances during their visit, reflecting the ongoing artistic life within the walls.
The location is best reached on foot or by local transportation and offers ample parking for visitors. The areas around the lake are freely accessible and invite leisurely walks through the grounds.
The original half-round wings were destroyed in 1797 and replaced with rectangular Empire-style buildings that survive to this day. This transformation is visible on the facades and shows how the property reinvented itself after the fire.
