Koberg Castle, Medieval château in Trollhättan Municipality, Sweden.
Koberg Castle is a stone fortress in Trollhättan Municipality with three floors and forty rooms arranged along an east-to-west layout. The building reveals different construction periods layered across its structure, each wing reflecting its own era.
The eastern section was built in the mid-1400s, while the central part was added in the early 1600s and the western wing followed a century later. This gradual expansion over generations shows how the estate grew to meet changing family needs.
The castle's name references Germany's Coburg Castle, reflecting how Swedish noble families maintained connections across Europe. The Vasa-style facade and the National Romantic stables built in 1904 shape how the estate appears today.
The castle remains privately owned and is generally not open for regular visits. A Christmas market held each November provides the main opportunity to see the historical grounds and experience the estate.
The botanist Carl von Linnaeus documented the castle's name origin and connected a Swedish fortress directly to its German counterpart. This historical note from one of Europe's most influential scientists gives the property a distinctive scholarly link.
