Christmas market
Skokloster Castle is one of the world's foremost Baroque castles and Sweden's largest private palace. Commissioned by Carl Gustav Wrangel, the construction of the castle took place during the Swedish Great Power era, spanning over 30 years. Nevertheless, the castle was not completed as craftsmen abandoned their work upon Wrangel's death in 1676. Despite this, much of it has been preserved, and stepping into the castle is like traveling back to a bygone era – to the luxury and everyday life of the nobility as it existed for 350 years. The castle is located by Lake Mälaren and Upplandsleden.
Christmas market 2024
The first Advent, Saturday, November 30 - Sunday, December 1, from 11.00 to 16.00.
In the grand corridors around the courtyard, about 30 exhibitors set up their tables with locally produced crafts, delicacies, wreaths, and lovely Christmas gifts. On the same floor, visitors can freely view the exhibition Dreams of Skokloster – Between the Battlefield and the Starry Sky, which includes the world-famous painting Vertumnus.
Winter Tours
To experience the other floors of the castle, there is an opportunity to take a winter tour, where visitors pass through the unfinished hall, the King's Hall, and Wrangel's armory. The museum shop is open with a festive selection, and the castle café serves traditional crispy waffles and other treats.
Santa's Helper
Outside the entrance, food trucks sell hamburgers, coffee, and Christmas pastries. Amid the crowd, the castle's friendly Santa's helper will assist with wish lists and a Christmas gift competition.
