Become the owner of a real royal castle – Fogelvik, an amazing castle in Sweden! This castle was the home of Carl Knutsson Bonde (who was king, three times during the 1400s), and passed through his heirs, the Bonde, Gyllenstierna, Horn, Thott, Posse and other clans, to the current owners (the castle is separated from the rest of the manor) who, in 1995, saved the castle and grounds for posterity and restored Fogelvik in to its former grandeur.

Imagine all the benefits of a castle which was once owned by a king? The castle has large doors opening on a furnishable entrance hall with old stone floor and beautiful murals. The hall is the connection point for the castle. The castle has a unique oval dining room with a ceiling height of 6 metres, wall paintings by .J B Masreleiz and access out to the terrace facing the sea, two lounges and a display room in a row, along with the library.
