Hörningsholm Castle, Medieval castle in Södermanland County, Sweden

Hörningsholm Castle stands on a cliff overlooking the Baltic Sea inlet, featuring two square single-story wings and symmetrical architectural elements.

The castle foundations date to the late 15th century under Nils Bosson Sture, with Russian troops burning the structure in 1719.

The interior houses an extensive private library and art collection belonging to the Bonde family, representing centuries of Swedish noble heritage.

Located at coordinates 59.05036365, 17.666277726304294, the castle remains a private residence without public access for regular tours.

Archaeological excavations in 1824 revealed a hidden dungeon beneath one of the basement rooms, indicating its medieval defensive purposes.
