Rydboholm Castle, Medieval castle in Österåker Municipality, Sweden.
The castle features three connected wings arranged around an open courtyard, with the main building dating from 1548 and subsequent modifications through centuries.
From the 15th century, the castle belonged to the Sture family before passing to the Vasa dynasty, with King Gustav I reportedly born within its walls.
The castle represents the architectural progression from medieval fortification to Renaissance residence, marking the evolution of Swedish noble residences over centuries.
The castle remains a private residence owned by Count Gustaf Douglas and his family, with limited access to the general public.
A large English-style park from the early 19th century, created by Magnus Fredrik Brahe, extends to the southwest of the castle grounds.
