Tidö Castle
Tidö Castle is a 17th-century Baroque (Dutch Renaissance–influenced) palace in Västmanland, Sweden, built for Axel Oxenstierna and completed around 1645. The complex is arranged around a rectangular cobbled courtyard with a main northern corps de logis and three linked wings; the principal entrance is reached via an external double staircase to the south wing vault and portal. The von Schinkel family owns Tidö and the main building is well preserved.

The shape it held in its prime.
White-plastered rectangular Baroque palace set around a cobbled rectangular courtyard, two main storeys above a rusticated reddish-brown sandstone base, evenly spaced tall mullioned windows with red-painted frames, and a steep dark metal or slate roof punctuated by chimneys and small dormers. The north façade features a central projecting two-storey sculpted gable with a round clock and stone cartouche; a broad symmetrical sandstone double staircase with balustrade rises to an ornate arched stone portal with a smaller basement doorway directly beneath.
