Skånelaholm Castle, Renaissance castle in Sigtuna Municipality, Sweden.

The brick castle stands on a peninsula within Lake Fysingen, featuring stuccoed facades and ornamental window surrounds from the 1890s renovation.

King Magnus III sold the estate to Sko Abbey in 1276, and after the Reformation, it became a crown estate until Andreas Gyldenklou constructed the current building in 1641.

The castle contains preserved interiors including a 17th-century dining room, Rococo drawing room, and Empire-style furniture in the blue drawing room.

Guided tours of Skånelaholm Castle operate from May through September, allowing visitors to explore the historical rooms and extensive library collection.

The surrounding park houses the Sälna rune stone, part of one of Sweden's densest concentrations of Viking Age rune stones indicating ancient waterways.
