Ängsö Castle, Medieval castle on Ängsö island, Lake Mälaren, Sweden
The castle stands as a four-story stone and brick structure near Västerås, featuring a cubic design with architectural elements from different periods.
King Canute I of Sweden mentioned the castle as Engsev in a royal charter, claiming it as inheritance from his father Eric IX of Sweden.
The castle exhibits architectural transformations through centuries, from its medieval foundation to the 1740s renovations by architect Carl Hårleman.
Visitors can explore the castle museum during summer months, learning about its architecture and historical significance through guided tours.
The property remained under Piper family ownership for 261 years, from 1710 to 1971, before transferring to the Westmanna foundation.
