Öster-Malma Castle, Baroque castle in Nyköping Municipality, Sweden.
Öster-Malma Castle is a Baroque structure in Nyköping Municipality situated on the shores of Lake Malmasjön. The building features two wings with classical proportions and detailed stonework characteristic of its period.
The castle was built in 1668 based on designs by architect Jean De la Vallée and originally belonged to Wilhelm Böös Drakenhielm, a royal official. Its construction reflected the wealth and power dynamics of late 17th century Sweden.
The Swedish Hunters' Association runs the property today, shaping how visitors experience the grounds through their focus on wildlife and outdoor traditions. This stewardship connects the castle to hunting heritage and nature conservation in a practical, everyday way.
The castle sits about one hour from Stockholm and offers conference rooms, hotel accommodations, and dining options serving regional dishes. Visitors should allow time to explore the lakeside setting and walking paths across the grounds.
The grounds feature a wildlife enclosure that serves the educational mission of the Hunters' Association and displays native species. This addition transforms the location into something beyond a purely historical site.
