Gäddeholm, Historic building in Västerås Municipality, Sweden.

The building stands as a significant architectural structure with coordinates at 59.554806 latitude and 16.658889 longitude in the Västmanlands Län region.

Originally named after nobleman Nils Gädda in the 1300s, architect Erik Dahlberg constructed a new structure commissioned by Sten Nilsson Bielke during the 1640s.

The interior contains a substantial library and family portraits that document the long succession of ownership through Swedish noble families.

Visitors can access detailed geographical information and virtual tours through various mapping services that display the building and surrounding terrain.

The building underwent reconstruction in 1729 following destruction during the Russian fires of 1719, maintaining much of its 17th-century architectural elements.
