Stora Sundby Slott / Castle

Stora Sundby - Södermanland - Sverige / Sweden

 

In the middle of beautiful Södermanland lies Stora Sundby Castle, overlooking the waters of Lake Hjälmaren. The history of the estate dates back to the Middle Ages, when a defensive fortress was established on the site.

The architectural features of the castle resemble those of a calendar, four large towers symbolizing the seasons, twelve small towers symbolizing the months of the year, 52 rooms symbolizing the weeks of the year, and a window for each day of the year (365). Architect was Peter Frederick Robinson.
