We are keeping up our tradition of visiting one castle per month. This year our king celebrates 50 years on the throne and our country celebrates 500 years since Gustav Vasa was elected king back in 1523.
Castle of this month was Ulriksdals Slott in Bergshamra. We took a guided tour around the castle and also visited the orangery which was included in the guided tour fee. The castle was built back in 1640 and was originally called Jakobsdals Slott after the man who had it built – Jakob De la Gardie. It was later sold to queen dowager Ulrika Eleonora who gave it to her grandson, Ulrik, as a christening gift back in 1684 and it then changed name to Ulriksdals Slott.
The castle café didn’t impress though so we had our afternoon coffee at home instead after a short visit to the Delicato outlet. Lol.
– as I see it..
