Rinkesta, Heritage château in Eskilstuna Municipality, Sweden.

Rinkesta château stands between Norrsjön and Sörsjön lakes, featuring traditional Swedish architectural elements and formal gardens surrounding the structure.

The château changed ownership from the crown in 1594 when Privy Councillor Gustaf Gabrielsson Oxenstierna acquired the property and initiated its development.

The interior of Rinkesta contains decorative elements from multiple periods, representing the evolution of Swedish aristocratic design through centuries.

Visitors can access Rinkesta through marked routes in Eskilstuna Municipality, with directional signs guiding them to the château grounds.

The château underwent substantial modifications in 1775 under Thure Leonard Klinckowström, transforming its appearance after recovering from a 1698 fire.
