Lindholmen Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Lidköping Municipality, Sweden.

The remains of Lindholmen Castle consist of a 17th-century wing structure situated within the grounds of the former fortified complex.

The castle's first recorded mention dates to 1514, when it was registered as a manor house before Vice Admiral Oxenstierna transformed it into a fortified structure.

The castle exemplifies Swedish military architecture through its conversion from a modest manor house into a substantial defensive stronghold by naval leadership.

The remaining section of Lindholmen Castle provides visitors with direct access to preserved 17th-century Swedish architectural elements and construction methods.

A fire in 1792 destroyed the main building of Lindholmen Castle, leaving only one wing as testament to its former grandeur.
