The castles around the Lake Mälaren in this video are as follows: 1. Gripsholms Castle outside Mariefred. They are keeping the biggest collection of art portraits of famous Swedish people. The King Erik XIV were held prisoner here not agreeing with his younger brothers Johan III and Karl IX. Rumour says that he was poisoned by pea soup and his brother Johan took over as the king. 2. Mälsåkers Castle outside Mariefred. During the world war II the Norwegian legation bought the castle in 1943 educating new soldiers while their home country were occupied. 3. Sundbyholm Castle outside Eskilstuna. 4. Strömsholms Castle outside Västerås. One of the Swedish Royal families castle. Over 100 years as the armys riding school. But since 1968 a castle belonging to Swedish state. 5. Tidö castle outside Västerås. 6. Engsö Castle outside Västerås. It's famous for the ghosts haunting the castle. 7. Viks Castle outside Uppsala. 8. Skokloster Castle outside Sigtuna. A very impressive castle. You're not allowed to walk in the castle by yourself due to the very fragile interior. But a guided tour is really worth it. The castle was built by Carl Gustaf Wrangel. The castle keep the biggest armoury held of a private person. The unfulfilled hall. When people heard that Wrangel had been killed during the war in Lützen 1632 down in Germany the workers lie down their tools and quited working and went home and never came back. They were afraid of not being payed. The room in 325 square meter should have been a magnificent hall for balls, banquetts, concerts and dance. Instead the room was left unfinished and remains so even today just as when they left it 1676. Awesome. One other thing is that rumor says that he almost never visited the castle being out in wars all the time. 9.Rosersbergs Castle outside Sigtuna. Another of the Swedish Royal families castles. 10.Riddarholmen in the center of Stockholm city. 11. The Royal Castle in th old town in Stockholm. The Royal family works here, but they are living in Drottningholms Castle.
