Kungs Norrby, Former medieval castle in Brunneby, Sweden

The stone structure stands near Motala stream and Norrbysjön lake, featuring two square towers, a round tower, and two extending wings.

During the medieval period, the bishops of Linköping Diocese held this property, which later became part of the Vasa family estate holdings.

The estate represents Swedish architectural evolution from medieval religious ownership through noble residences to its current architectural configuration established in 1775.

Located at coordinates 58.551389, 15.330278, the structure maintains its original position defending the crossing point of Motala stream.

Danish forces under Commander Daniel Rantzau burned the initial 1550s stone building in 1568, leading to its complete reconstruction in 1578.

Location: Motala Municipality

GPS coordinates: 58.55139,15.33028
