Harvest time in Paradiset (in Swedish)
Imagine following the magical journey from seed to harvest. In Skokloster Castle's Paradiset (a cosy cottage with a beautiful garden), children can play and learn how to farm. We are going to explore one of the world's most famous paintings Vertumnus. The painting consists of multiple fruits, vegetables and flowers that come together to create a portrait. With inspiration from the painting, children can use flower and vegetable seeds to create their own masterpiece.
The activity takes place in collaboration with Florea and is free of charge. You do not need to pre-book tickets.
In search of lost time (in Swedish)
Juliana Wrangel, Eva Bielke and Greta Bonde were three countesses who worked at the castle. Three castle ladies who certainly lived in luxury and abundance, but their lives weren't easy.
The lecture will be held by Barbro Bursell, former Curator at The Royal Armoury, Skokloster castle and Hallwyl museum. She will be talking about her research about these relatively unknown women went.
Coffee and cinnamon buns as well as admission to the exhibition Chatelaines and convent sisters are included in the ticket.
Autumn guided tour in the castle park (in Swedish)
Welcome to participate in a special guided tour of the castle's park. Within the park, there are lime tree avenues where some of the trees are as old as the castle itself. You'll also find a historical apple orchard with its own apple varieties.
Anders Glassel from the National Property Board (SFV) guides through the park in autumn colours.
The ticket price for the guided tour also includes a bag for self-picking apples in the garden.
Chatelaines and convent sisters (in Swedish)
In conjuntion with the exhibition Chatelaines and convent sisters, we are offering a lecture by Sofia Nestor, Curator at the National Historical Museums, where she will discuss Herman Wrangel's strategic marriages to Margareta Grip, Katarina Gyllenstierna, and Amalia Magdalena of Nassau-Siegen.
Fashion and costume construction (in Swedish)
We'll make three stops in fashion history from the 17th and 18th century – when we take a closer look at the costumes reconstructed for the exhibition Chatelaines and convent sisters. Who were these women? What sources and techniques were used to be as historically accurate as possible? What do you do in an exhibition when there are no preserved garments from the historical era?
Lecture and guided tour with Petri Tigercrona, Curator at Skokloster Castle, who also sewed the reconstructed costumes.
