Finspång Castle, Neoclassical château in Finspång, Sweden.
Finspång Castle is a Neoclassical manor house in southern Sweden with symmetrical wings and precise geometric forms. Its facade displays Dutch Classicist style with clear lines and balanced proportions throughout the structure.
Dutch architect Adriaan Dortsman designed the building in 1666 for industrialist Louis De Geer. This project strengthened the architectural connections between Sweden and the Netherlands during that era.
The castle rooms contain furnishings and objects from different periods of Swedish industrial history. Visitors can see how manufacturing techniques and workers' daily life changed over the decades.
The building is accessible through various areas, with some sections used as offices and others as hotel rooms. Visitors should note that only certain parts of the structure are open to the public.
The 1831 orangery houses one of Sweden's oldest living grapevines. This historic vine continues to grow within the protected greenhouse and is a rare survivor from past centuries.
