Plant raising school in Paradiset (in Swedish)
Imagine following the magical journey from seed to harvest. In Skokloster Castle’s Paradiset, children can learn about raising plants as they play. We start by looking at Vertumnus, one of the world’s best-known paintings. It has roses, chillies, courgettes and much more! The plant raising school is presented together with Florea, who will be here on the day. The activities will be indoors if it rains.
You do not need to pre-book the event. Free of charge to participate.
Cancelled: Three remarkable ladies - Skokloster’s first chatelaines (in Swedish)
The lecture is canceled due to illness. Tickets purchased on Tickster will be refunded.

Special guided tour of the park (in Swedish)
You are welcome to join a special guided tour of the castle park. There are avenues of linden trees, some of which are as old as the castle. There is also a historic orchard, with some rare apple varieties. In spring, the lilies of the valley, Turk’s cap lilies and other plants are in flower; they may have been introduced by nuns from the convent that was once here. Anders Glassel, a specialist in the cultural heritage of landscapes and parks from the National Property Board of Sweden, will lead the tour through the castle park.
The Ascension Day weekend at the castle
We will be open throughout the four-day Ascension Day weekend, with guided tours, lectures, horse show and family activities in the Paradise garden.
The castle’s equestrian portraits (in Swedish)
Louis XIV’s chatelaines are portrayed on horseback on six paintings in Skokloster’s collections which are now on display in the exhibition Chatelaines and Convent Sisters. Curator Annika Williams tells us about the paintings and raises questions about the equestrian culture of early modern women. Coffee and admission to the exhibition Chatelaines and Convent Sisters are included.
Riding Sisters by Choice in the castle park
The group Riding Sisters by Choice will be on site in the castle park dressed in period court lady's costumes and jumping obstacles with their horses. The chatelaines of King Louis XIV of France, whose equestrian portraits may be found in the Skokloster Castle collections, have provided the inspiration, and here they come to life for a while in the castle park.
