Stjernsund Castle, Manor house in Askersund Municipality, Sweden

Stjernsund Castle features neoclassical architecture with a four-columned portico and stands on a headland at the north end of Lake Vättern in central Sweden.

The current structure was built in 1808 by mill owner Olof Burenstam, who demolished the original 1664 country house constructed by Johan Oxenstierna.

The castle contains preserved interiors from the 1850s when Prince Gustaf, known as the Singer Prince, decorated its rooms with sophisticated furnishings and artworks.

Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours from May to September, with access to the lakeside Castle Cafe and a gift shop.

The estate played a role in Swedish agriculture as a model farm that specialized in developing the Swedish Red-and-White cattle breed.
