For the castle of the month of November we chose Skokloster in Sigtuna (a lot of castles in this area). A nice hour drive up there in the sunny cold day. We stopped at the Åberg Museum on the way – not much to see unfortunately.
The castle was built in the 17th century and it is the best preserved baroque castle in Europe. It has stayed as a museum since the beginning of the 18th century. A beautiful church is situated right next to the castle which overlooks the water.
On our way back we stopped for a coffee at “Tant Bruns Kaffestuga” in Sigtuna, situated in an old 17th century building. So picturesque and cosy! We enjoyed a carrot cake and a coffee / tea. The oldest part of Sigtuna originates from the 10th century. The main street is the first pedestrian precinct in Sweden, has stores and shops open so it is very much a living town.
– as I see it..
Vad trist att Åberg museet var en besvikelse. Har alltid velat åka dit.
Kram
Ja, det var ganska dyrt inträde så vi gick inte in, och shoppen var en besvikelse. Caféet hade plastmöbler och var fullt av barnfamiljer, kändes inte så mysigt det heller. Så det blev fika i Sigtuna istället – vilket var jättemysigt!
