Skokloster Castle

There is plenty to discover at Skokloster Castle, making it one of the summer’s ideal destinations for families. “Come and spend a day at the castle,” says curator Petri Tigercrona. “There’s a lot to explore including the castle itself with its magnificent rooms, well-preserved furnishings and paintings, but also the stunning castle grounds, which are perfect for walks along the lake and picnics in the sun.” One of this summer’s highlights is the exhibition Elsa Beskow’s World at Skokloster Castle, open from 6 June to 31 August. Here, visitors can meet the characters from children’s books by the famous author, including Aunt Green, Aunt Brown and Aunt Lavender – and they can even try on the aunties’ legendary skirts.
