We warmly welcome you to Stora Sundby Estate!
Castle Tours
Spring screenings are now available out via Tickster - you are most welcome to secure your place.
Behind the castle walls lies a history that stretches back to the Middle Ages. The interior can only be experienced in the company of one of our knowledgeable guides, who will gently lead you through the castle's stories and rooms.
The tour takes around 50 minutes and takes you through the Knights' Hall, salons, chambers and beautiful rooms where centuries of life, tradition and heritage have left their mark.
Tickets can be booked via Tickster.

There are currently free slots for groups on Wednesdays and Saturdays in May.
Welcome to Stora Sundby - a living castle with a long history.
Castle café
The café is located in the yellow wing of the avenue leading up to the castle. The building once belonged to the estate's orangery and is nestled among flowers and lush greenery with views over Hjälmaren and the castle.
In early summer, we serve pastries and light lunches in the form of open-faced sandwiches, as well as hot lunches that can be pre-ordered in connection with a viewing. The serving area is located on our terrace, which is covered but has no walls.
We prepare our offerings every morning; this can limit availability towards the end of the day. Please let us know in good time via email. [email protected] if you are a larger group planning a visit so we can prepare the supply.
Opening hours vary throughout the year but are open 11 am-4 pm on weekends and public holidays during May, with increased days during holiday periods. The cafe is always open in conjunction with open viewings.
Stora Sundby Farmers Shop
The farm shop is located directly at the entrance to the castle car park from road 56 and is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 4 pm during spring.
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.

Castle grounds
In the park, you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Castle with its garden, the old castle ruins mentioned for the first time in the 14th century, a well-preserved runestone, and the scenic deer enclosure where there are plenty of fallow deer and mouflon sheep.
The park is open to the public every day of the year between 10-18.
The entrance fee of SEK 20 goes in full to the maintenance of the park.
Pets are welcome in the park but should be leashed and must not disturb other visitors or animals on the estate.
Please be considerate that the castle is a private residence and respect signs marked “private”.
Hiking
At the Castle parking lot, you will find an information sign with the walking trails that are available around the estate. Along each trail, there are benches where you can sit down for a rest and enjoy a packed snack.
Please remember to close gates behind you and keep your pets on a leash to avoid disturbing the estate animals.
picnic
Rent your picnic basket in the Castle Café and sit down in any place in the park, along the shore of Lake Hjälmaren or under the trees in the oak park. The basket does not need to be pre-booked but is rented on site in the Castle Café.
