Huvudsta gamla slott, Historical building in Solna Municipality, Sweden

The wooden structure stands on the northern side of Ulvsundasjön, positioned 300 meters northwest of Huvudsta gård in Solna Municipality.

Built in 1750, the castle gained notoriety as the location where Count Claes Horn and associates planned King Gustav III's assassination in 1792.

During restoration works, workers discovered a 17th-century wooden ceiling with gray paintings featuring a cherub and the Stenbock coat of arms.

The building now functions as an open preschool for children aged 0-5 years, offering drop-in activities and summer camps in the garden.

The structure moved to its current location in 1834 when Russian ambassador Peter van Suchtelen wanted to build a new main building.
