Visit in your own pace
The first floor
Welcome to visit the Entrance floor and the State apartments on the first floor. Here you can experience the environment as it looked over 350 years ago when the castle was built. Everywhere there are beautiful objects to gaze at – furniture, paintings, textiles, glass, porcelain and weapons.
Dreams of Skokloster
Dreams of Skokloster – Between the Battlefield and Starry Sky is our permanent exhibition. By moving some of our splendid artefacts down to the ground floor, we have improved accessibility so that more people can enjoy our unique collections. The exhibition contains the castle’s unique collection of magnificent artefacts, with world-famous paintings, books, costumes and celestial globes to tell the exciting history of Skokloster.
Audio guides
We offer a free audio guide that will lead you through the State apartments on the first floor and the exhibition Dreams of Skokloster on the Entrance floor. You listen to the history of Skokloster on your own smartphone with headphones. At the museum entrance you will find a QR code that you can scan to take part of all this.

The castle park
Some of the trees in the avenues of limes are as old as the castle. There is also an orchard with lots of different apple varieties, and even a local one; Skokloster Grågylling.
In spring, snake's head fritillaries, Turk's cap lilies and other plants are in bloom. They may have been brought by nuns at the convent that was once here. The large lawns in front of the castle lend themselves to boules and picnics.
