Ekebyhov Castle, Manor house in Ekerö Municipality, Sweden.
Ekebyhov Castle is a two-story wooden building displaying traditional Swedish architectural features, surrounded by gardens containing fruit trees and natural landscapes. The grounds provide a pleasant setting for walking and observing the property's design.
Field Marshal Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel constructed the current wooden building in the 1670s after acquiring the estate from previous owners. This construction marks an important moment in the property's development as a noble residence.
The castle serves as a gathering place for local communities who organize meetings and activities here throughout the year. Its rooms allow visitors to experience how people in the region come together for different occasions.
The castle is located at Björkuddsvägen 107 in Ekerö and features an on-site café serving coffee and pastries. The grounds are accessible for visitors to explore at their own pace, with gardens and outdoor areas to walk through.
The castle has housed an apple gene bank since 1998, preserving the legacy of Captain Bengt Ihre Johan who planted hundreds of thousands of trees for fruit cultivation. This collection reflects the area's long agricultural heritage.
