Uppsala Castle (Uppsala Slott)

Uppsala Castle, a 16th-century fortress in Uppsala, Sweden, was built during the reign of King Gustav Vasa and has been a significant stage for Swedish history, hosting royal coronations, assassinations, and abdications. Perched on a hill, the castle’s original ruins, known as Vasaborgen, stand as a testament to its storied past. Today, visitors can explore these historic remnants and visit the Uppsala Art Museum, which houses a variety of exhibits within the castle’s walls.
