Mem Castle

The stone castle features a main building with four floors, two wings constructed in Carolingian style, and spacious rooms with large windows overlooking Slätbaken bay.

King Johan III granted the estate to Esbjörn Pedersson Lilliehöök in 1572, establishing its status as a manor and initiating centuries of noble ownership.

The interior contains preserved elements from the 18th century, including tile stoves, wall paintings, and intricate moldings that represent Swedish architectural heritage.

The castle stands at the mouth of Göta Canal, connecting to the Baltic Sea through Slätbaken bay, making it accessible by both land and water routes.

A memorial stone from 1663, marking the era of Vice Admiral Henrik Fleming and his wife Sigrid Kurtzel, remains on the castle grounds.
