Fiholm, Historic castle estate in Västerås Municipality, Sweden

The estate features two grand wings constructed in French-Dutch Renaissance architectural style, completed in 1642 along the shores of Lake Mälaren.

Swedish statesman Axel Oxenstierna commissioned French architect Simon de Vallée in 1640 to design Fiholm, with construction supervised by Nikodemus Tessin.

The southern wing functions as a private residence while maintaining its architectural heritage, offering group tours that showcase Swedish noble life.

Visitors can explore the grounds, visit the café and gift shop located in an 1864 barn, and schedule guided tours through the official website.

The original plans included a central manor house that was never built, leaving the two completed wings as a testament to incomplete 17th-century ambitions.
