Tjolöholm Castle

Tjolöholm Castle is Sweden’s leading Art and Crafts property. The castle was built between 1898 and 1904, and is a mixture of 16th century English architecture combined with all the modern comforts from the turn of the century. Surrounding the castle is a formal garden, which slowly transforms into natural English style parkland. The estate is situated on it's own peninsular, and numerous footpaths lead through oak forests and coastal landscapes. Public tours take place every day during the summer season, and every weekend the rest of the year. Visitors are shown round many of the castle’s 36 rooms. Group tours, in Swedish, English, German or French can be booked year round.
