Djursholm Castle, Medieval castle in Djursholm, Sweden

The castle stands with two distinct wings, featuring limestone staircases, oak details, and an assembly room adorned with a decorated stucco ceiling.

Nils Eskilsson Banér constructed the initial stone structure in the early 1500s, marking the beginning of three centuries of Banér family ownership.

The Banérsalen great hall contains a 1668 stucco ceiling by Giovanni Anthoni depicting Zenobia, queen of Palmyra, alongside Banér family portraits.

The castle now serves as the administrative center for Danderyd Municipality, with conference rooms and assembly halls available for public events.

The castle originated from a strategic position controlling shipping routes to Stockholm, where previous owner Nils Jönsson reportedly allowed pirates passage.
