With its commanding position on Kasåsen hill high above Uppsala, the castle is visible from afar. Today it is the residence of the Governor of Uppsala County. Built as a fortification by Gustav Vasa starting in 1549, the castle was the site of the Sture Murders in 1567, the decision regarding Sweden's participation in the Thirty Years' War was made here, Queen Christina abdicated here in 1654, and many of Sweden's former kings and queens were born and lived here. As early as 1572, the castle had been remodeled by Johan III and expanded into a grand Renaissance palace. After the great city fire of 1702, parts of the main building, the so-called Cross Castle, were demolished. During its reconstruction in 1744, the entire castle acquired its present form in the French Neoclassical style, based on designs by Carl Hårleman. The room, the district council hall, which was specially set up for the district council meetings after the municipal reform of 1862, is today primarily used as a representative reception room.
