Sävstaholm Castle

Sävstaholm Castle stands with four wings surrounding a central courtyard, featuring classic 17th-century Swedish architectural elements and symmetrical design points.

Erik Dahlbergh designed this castle in 1666 for Gustaf Sparre, who served as a Swedish baron, diplomat, and governor of the region.

The castle functions as an exhibition space where visitors can view collections of art and historical artifacts from different periods of Swedish history.

Visitors can reach the castle by taking a regional train to Vingåker station and following the marked walking path through the town center.

The castle grounds contain the original apple tree that produced the first Sävstaholm apple variety, dating back to the mid-19th century.
