Borgholm Castle (Swedish: Borgholms slott) in Borgholm, Sweden, is today only a ruin of the fortress that was first built in the second half of the 12th century and rebuilt many times in later centuries.
The castle was in a bad shape after a war against the Danish and it took until 1654 before a restoration and reconstruction would begin. This time, the castle was to be turned into a baroque palace. Charles X Gustav was the king who ordered this, and Nicodemus Tessin the Elder was the architect engaged to fulfill the king's wishes. When Charles X Gustav died in 1660, the construction stopped, only to be restarted at a slow pace during the reigns of King Charles XI and King Charles XII. In 1709, the construction was finally completed.
For a hundred years, the palace was left to fall into decay. On 14 October 1806, the castle was turned into a ruin by a fire that started in the roof of the north wing.
The castle of today is the ruins of the 17th century baroque palace Charles X Gustav had constructed. It is owned and managed by the National Property Board of Sweden (Statens Fastighetsverk). It is open for visitors and houses a museum.

Barockschloss Lichtenwalde. in der Herbstsonne
Das Barockschloss Schloss Meseberg in Brandenburg ist das Gästehaus der deutschen Bundesregierung. Es liegt 70 Kilometer nördlich von Berlin in Meseberg, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Gransee mit 150 Einwohnern. Das Gelände liegt unmittelbar südöstlich des Huwenowsees.
Schloss Meseberg is a Baroque castle 65 kilometres north of Berlin in Meseberg in Brandenburg, Germany which is the official state guest house of the German Federal Government. It is situated in an estate near the town of Gransee southeast of a lake known as the Huwenowsee.
1739 bis 1746 wurde das Deutschordenschloss nach den Entwürfen Johann Caspar Bagnatos und unter seiner Bauleitung erbaut. Trotz beschränkter Finanzen entstand eine architektonisch höchst ausgewogene, symmetrische Schlossanlage von großer Harmonie. Hufeisenförmig öffnen sich die Arme der beiden Seitenflügel zum Festland. Dagegen ist die breite Seite dem See zugewandt. Das Gebäude ruht auf einem Sockel, über den sich zwei Stockwerke erheben. Prächtig am Westgiebel: die Wappen des Hochmeisters Clemens August von Bayern, des Landkomturs Philipp von Froberg und des Mainaukomturs Friedrich von Baden. Der Ostgiebel zur Seeseite trägt das Wappen des Deutschen Ordens.
Bagnato verzichtet in seinem Entwurf auf ein prächtiges repräsentatives Treppenhaus nach Würzburger Vorbild. Die Obergeschosse erreicht man über schlicht gehaltene Treppenhäuser in den Seitenflügeln.
Herzstück des Schlosses ist der ehemalige Audienzsaal, der in Weiß und Gold gehaltene sog. "Weiße Saal", der sein heutiges Aussehen erst 1883 erhielt. Er ist nur zu Konzerten oder besonderen Veranstaltungen öffentlich zugänglich. Für das Publikum geöffnet im Rahmen wechselnder Ausstellungen ist auch der Wappensaal, zentraler Raum im Untergeschoss des ursprünglichen Corps de Logis. Dazu die Räume des Schlosscafés im Übergang zum Palmenhaus.

Inveraray Castle, nestled on the shores of Loch Fyne in western Scotland, is a striking example of Gothic Revival architecture and the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll, chiefs of Clan Campbell. Built in the mid-18th century, the castle combines baroque, Palladian, and Gothic styles, making it one of Scotland’s most unique and photogenic stately homes. Surrounded by lush gardens and dramatic Highland scenery, Inveraray Castle houses an impressive collection of arms, tapestries, and artwork. Its rich history and romantic setting have also made it a popular filming location and a must-visit destination for those exploring Scotland’s noble heritage.
