About
Skokloster Castle is a Baroque castle built in 1654-1676 for Count Carl Gustaf Wrangel on Lake Mälaren, and it still holds the collections of the families who lived there. Kids can hunt for gleaming swords in the ground-floor exhibition and look for the fruit in Arcimboldo's Vertumnus portrait.
Beside the castle, the Paradise Playground has a gazebo, a wooden horse-drawn tram and a balance course of giant tools.
