Vallen Castle, Medieval château in Våxtorp, Sweden
Vallen Castle stands as a three-building complex situated at coordinates 56.4294 latitude and 13.1269 longitude in Halland County, Sweden.
The estate originated in the 13th century under knight Peder Laxmand, later enduring periods of burning and looting during Swedish-Danish conflicts.
During the 17th century, the castle became central to a local knitting industry where peasants produced socks for the Swedish army.
The castle received heritage protection designation on October 26, 1978, marking its recognition as an individual listed building complex.
Birgitta Durell established a successful manufacturing operation at the castle, creating an economic system based on sock production that lasted over 100 years.
