Castle safari in West Sörmland
There are many castles and manor houses in the county due to Sörmland being so close to Stockholm. The owners of the estates were aristocracy and often held high up positions within the military or government officials, so being near the capital was necessary.
In our part of Södermanland, many of the castles are now open to the public and well worth a visit. Experience unique car museums, luxurious spa rituals, inspiring art exhibitions, and exciting concerts at the castles in Södermanland. Enjoy homemade pastries and locally crafted goods in charming cafés and shops – a perfect experience for all the senses.
