Gripenberg Castle, Wooden baroque castle in Tranås Municipality, Sweden.
The castle features a broad central structure with four corner towers and eight single-story wings serving as residential spaces and storage areas.
Field Marshal Carl Gustaf Wrangel commissioned the construction of Gripenberg Castle in 1663 as a hunting lodge, with Nicodemus Tessin the Elder as architect.
The castle received its name from Margareta Grip, the mother of Field Marshal Wrangel, maintaining a connection to Swedish noble heritage.
The castle remains under private ownership by the von Söderling family since the late 17th century and does not permit public access.
Gripenberg Castle stands as the largest wooden castle in Sweden, originally painted red before receiving yellow board panels in the 1780s.
