A lovely sunny Sunday and perfect for a drive to see a new castle. We invited my parents to come along and we had a very nice time.
First we visited the castle and had lunch at the Art museum. Soup of the day – funnel chanterelle (yes, my hubby chose something else .. lol ) was delicious.
The castle was built back in the 16th century by Gustav Vasa and was a defense fort to begin with. One of the most famous events that took place in this castle (in Rikssalen – the National Hall) was when Queen Kristina abdicated from the throne back in 1654. The Rikssalen is now available if you want to arrange a big party or cultural events but booking is limited by the statutes of the Rikssalsstiftelsen. The Hall is only rented out for events that go beyond the ordinary or have a certain ceremonial character.
We then drove downtown and went to Güntherska for a nice coffee. We were able to sit outside in a small pavilion which was lovely.
– as I see it..
