Börstorp Castle, Manor house in Mariestad Municipality, Sweden
Börstorp Castle is a manor house featuring neo-Gothic architecture that rises from the shores of Lake Vänern. The building displays symmetrical facades and multiple towers that define the landscape.
The castle was founded in 1646 by Conrad Falkenberg using stones quarried from Kinnekulle mountain. The 1850s brought major reconstruction that shaped its current appearance.
The castle serves as a venue for opera and seasonal dining events that connect guests to traditional Swedish country life. These gatherings reflect how the estate has long been a place for artistic expression and hospitality.
The castle sits roughly two hours from Gothenburg and three hours from Stockholm, making it accessible for day trips or longer stays. The property offers conference spaces and private event facilities year-round.
The property includes one of Sweden's oldest three-arched stone bridges dating back centuries. The estate also operates one of Europe's first climate-certified beef production facilities.
