Ekholmen Castle

Ekholmen Castle features a Renaissance-style main building with four corner towers and baroque curved gables, accompanied by older wings dating from earlier periods.

The estate, first documented in 1369, underwent major reconstruction between 1736 and 1748 under architect Carl Hårleman, with subsequent modifications in 1857 by Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander.

The castle represents Swedish architectural evolution, combining Renaissance and Baroque elements through successive renovations while maintaining its historical foundation.

Located south of Enköping near Norra Björkfjärden in Mälaren, the castle stands at coordinates 59°30′47″N latitude and 17°22′27″E longitude.

The wings of the current structure belonged to a previous house that burned in 1686, designed by architect Jean de la Vallée for the heirs of Pontus De la Gardie.
