Stjärnorp Castle, 17th-century castle ruins in Linköping Municipality, Sweden.

The castle features two restored wings flanking a central ruin, with a chapel that stands as part of the architectural complex at Lake Roxen.

Field Marshal Robert Douglas commissioned the construction of Stjärnorp Castle between 1655 and 1662, with architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder designing the structure.

The castle's chapel transformed from a private worship space for the nobility into a parish church in 1810, serving the local community.

The castle grounds remain accessible to visitors who can explore the ruins, restored wings, and chapel while learning about Swedish architectural heritage.

A fire in 1789 destroyed the main building, and insufficient funds led to its permanent state as ruins, while the wings were reconstructed.

Location: Linköping Municipality

Architects: Nicodemus Tessin the Elder
