Tidö Castle, Baroque castle in Västmanland, Sweden
The castle follows Dutch Renaissance architecture with a rectangular courtyard, featuring a main building to the north and three connected wings.
The original medieval structure, built by the Gren family in the 15th century, was replaced by Lord High Chancellor Axel Oxenstierna between 1625 and 1645.
The castle contained Sweden's first toy museum from 1974 to 2017, displaying thousands of items including the royal family's personal collection.
Located 17 kilometers south of Västerås, the castle offers guided tours through rooms representing different historical periods from the 17th century onward.
The name Tidö comes from 'tidigt' and 'ö', as the structure originally stood on an island due to Lake Mälaren's higher water levels.
