Nice place to walk around. I was there on my Easter ? weekend. Happy Easter everyone. God bless you and your families.

Wow! Visited a sunny and warm autumn day, and strolled around the park for 2+ hours enjoying the scenery. Not that much to do, but such a lovely place on the right day. Perfect for a casual walk, longer walk, photo trip, Swedish fika and more. Well worth a visit

Serene and a place to spend ample amount of peaceful time. Check in the website if you are interested in visiting the palace and also take guided tours. We were there in September and the palace was closed for the season then. So do remember to check while you plan. Besides, this is quite close to Trosa which is even more appealing so you can do two birds in a stone. When the weather is great, this place is one of the best places you could possibly visit an hour drive down Stockholm. We enjoyed it and would gladly recommend it

Beautiful castle south of Stockholm with a nice park. The area around is quite nice for a walk, and one can have a picnic and enjoy the view of the sea.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
