The Vadstena Castle was originally built by King Gustav Vasa 1545-1555 as a defensive system to protect the country from attacks from Småland and Denmark. But soon the fortress was extended to a princely apartment for the son of a duke Duke Magnus of Östergötland, before the castle was completed in 1620 as a Renaissance castle. Today it is one of the best preserved Renaissance castles in Sweden.
You can discover the castle on your own or go on an exciting journey of discovery with a historically dressed guide.
