Skokloster Castle

Skokloster Castle is a mid-17th century Swedish Baroque castle built for Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel on a peninsula of Lake Mälaren between Stockholm and Uppsala. Construction ran from 1654 until 1676 and the building now serves as a state museum preserving extensive 17th- and 18th-century collections. The site is noted for unusually well-preserved period interiors, an armoury, a library and a contemporary 17th-century building site preserved in situ.

As it stood in 1676

The shape it held in its prime.

Large rectangular three-storey Baroque mansion with a white-plastered façade set on an ochre plinth, regular rows of tall rectangular windows with shallow arched surrounds, and a steep dark hipped roof pierced by several chimneys. Three prominent multi-level corner towers with octagonal drums and green copper domed cupolas and lanterns anchor the long façades. The castle sits on a grassy peninsula by Lake Mälaren; at its prime the exterior appears complete while some interiors remained in a builders' state.
