Kungs Norrby, Former medieval castle in Brunneby, Sweden

Kungs Norrby is a former castle compound in Brunneby near Motala. The main structure features two square towers, a round tower, and two wings arranged around a central courtyard area.

Bishops of Linköping held this property as a religious estate during medieval times. It passed to the noble Vasa family and underwent major rebuilding after being destroyed in 1568.

The estate was called Biskops Norrby (Bishop's Norrby) in the Middle Ages, when the bishops of Linköping held it; the prefix Kungs (King's) came later. Margareta Leijonhufvud, Gustav Vasa's second wife, inherited the property through her mother Ebba Eriksdotter of the Vasa family. The present main building dates from 1775, with wings and outbuildings forming a coherent historic setting.

The site sits at a strategic point where Motala stream crosses an old route. The location next to Norrbysjoen lake provides clear landmarks to help with finding your way around.

The 1578 replacement appears in Erik Dahlbergh's Suecia antiqua et hodierna with three storeys, two square towers at the front and a round tower at the rear. Traces of the old castle and its fortifications can still be seen beside the Motala River.
