Merlo Castle, Historical residence in Timrå District, Sweden.

The Merlo Castle spans three floors with 18 rooms and features a second-floor hall with a seven-meter-high ceiling resembling medieval architecture.

Fredrik Bünsow, a prominent timber merchant, constructed Merlo Castle between 1883 and 1885 as a summer residence for his family's forty-year use.

The building houses an extensive industrial archive documenting northern Sweden's resource-based activities from the 1600s through present times.

Visitors can explore the surrounding park with rare trees and plants, while the seasonal café Slottsträdgården provides refreshments in a garden setting.

The castle functions as a repository containing 6,000 shelf meters of historical documents from various companies operating in the Norrland region.
