Bogesund Castle
Highlight • Castle
Bogesund Castle was built between 1642 and 1650 by Count Per Brahe the Younger. He was Sweden's largest landowner at the time and is said to have considered Bogesund Castle his primary castle and home. At that time, the castle was square, with four floors and two attics under a gable roof. It had many beautiful ceiling and wall paintings, some of which still survive today.
In the 1770s, the castle was modernized, and traces of the wallpaper, tiled stoves, and woodwork from this renovation can still be seen.
In the 19th century, a new staircase and entrance door were added, but the greatest change occurred between 1863 and 1867, when the then owner, Nils Albrekt von Lantingshausen Höpken, had the building rebuilt into the romantic castle it is today. He also added a chapel, a dining room, and an elegant winter garden. The park was also redesigned in the same romantic style. Von Höpken was the last lord of Bogesund Castle.
He abandoned it in the 1910s, and it fell into disrepair. After many years of neglect, the government took over the castle thanks to a specially introduced law called the Lex Bogesund. Today, the castle and its park are protected as historical monuments and are managed by the National Property Board. Since no one has lived there for over 100 years, much of the castle has been preserved in its original condition.
The castle can only be visited as part of a guided tour or by special group reservation.
