Elghammar Castle, Empire style château in Gnesta Municipality, Sweden

Located 80 kilometers southwest of Stockholm, Elghammar Castle stands at the end of Lake Lockvattnet with seventeen distinct architectural structures on its grounds.

Marshal Curt von Stedingk acquired the existing manor house in 1807 and initiated new construction projects to transform it into a French Empire style residence.

The property maintains connections to French nobility through its historical owners, including the Duke of Otrante, descendant of Napoleon's Minister of Police Joseph Fouché.

The castle complex, accessible via Route 57 in Stjärnhov, requires approximately 30 minutes to explore its main architectural features and surrounding grounds.

The castle combines Swedish architectural heritage with French aristocratic influence, as evidenced by its Empire style design and ownership by the d'Otrante family.
