Sjöö Castle, Medieval castle in Örsundsbro, Sweden.
The castle features grand stone walls, symmetrical proportions, and a central tower rising above the surrounding countryside near Uppsala.
Constructed between 1669 and 1679 under Johan Gabriel Stenbock's direction, with architects Nicodemus Tessin the Elder and Mathias Spieler leading the project.
The castle represents Swedish aristocratic architecture, combining French baroque influences with local building traditions in its design and layout.
The castle remains private property of the Banér family since 1813, with limited public access and viewing possible only from designated paths.
The cross-shaped main hall, added in the 19th century, draws direct inspiration from Villa Gazotti in Italy.
