June and a new castle to visit – this time we chose Tullgarn Slott, near Trosa in Södermanland. It’s one of our most popular royal destinations and less than an hour away from Stockholm by car. Tullgarn Palace was the summer palace of King Gustaf V and Queen Victoria at the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s. However, the palace was originally built for Duke Fredrik Adolf in the 1770s.
We had a lovely visit and took the guided tour when we arrived. It was 45 min and showed several of the rooms in the castle and the history behind. After the tour we walked around to the front which is facing the water and then we had lunch at the castle café. Waffles and a locally produced apple juice. Mmm.
