Västerås Castle
Västerås, Sweden, Sweden
Västerås Castle, situated in Västerås, Sweden, along the Svartån River, dates back to the 12th century as an administrative and prison structure that later evolved into a key royal residence.
Rebuilt in the 1540s under King Gustav Vasa and expanded after a 1736 fire by architect Carl Hårleman, it hosted pivotal events like the 1527 and 1544 parliaments that advanced the Reformation and hereditary monarchy in Sweden. Today, the restored landmark serves as the Västmanland County governor's residence, housing Västerås Castle Museum with exhibits on regional history amid scenic lakeside grounds.
