Castle Tours
Planning for the castle tours is in full swing, with more times than ever in the pipeline Keep an eye on our social media for ticket release information as new tour periods approach.
The fairytale castle Stora Sundby, has a history that stretches all the way back to the Middle Ages. The inside of the castle can only be seen in the company of one of our fantastic guides. The tour takes about 50 minutes and takes you to the castle's Knights' Hall and through several salons and beautiful rooms.
Maila [email protected] if you have questions about group tours. There are times every Wednesday and Saturday in May right now.
Castle café
The summer café is now closed for the season. The café is located in the yellow wing in the avenue leading up to the castle. The building once belonged to the farm's orangery and is nestled in flowers and lush greenery overlooking Hjälmaren and the castle. During the summer we serve pastries, sandwiches, salads and light lunch dishes on our roofed but unwalled terrace.
In our café, we make sandwiches and salads every morning, which may limit the selection towards the end of the day. Please inform us by email at [email protected] if you are a larger group planning a visit so we can prepare the supply.
Opening hours vary throughout the year.
Stora Sundby Farmers Shop
The farm shop is located directly at the entrance to the castle car park from road 56 and is open on Saturdays from 11am to 4pm during the winter.
The vision is to be a natural meeting point for food artisans so that we together can offer locally produced food. Here we offer game meat from the Estate and locally sourced ingredients from farms around Stora Sundby.
We also sell carefully selected sustainable products related to either the Castle or cooking. Right now we have game meat such as deer, wild boar, fallow deer, red deer, moose, mouflon sheep, pheasant and duck.
