The plans were grandiose and the construction was led by the renowned architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder.

Here you can learn about history in a more lively way. You can get an idea of what it looked like when the castle was attacked by the Danes or try to imagine the \"royal waistline\". King Karl X Gustaf not only liked war and women, but also food. When he died at the age of 37, it is said that he had a waist measurement of 2 metres.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"142551\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-20.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"142550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-3-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"142549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-142549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Museum-2-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hall-of-fame-kandisarnas-rum-i-slottet\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hall_of_Fame_%E2%80%93_kandisarnas_rum_i_slottet\"><\/span>Hall of Fame - celebrity rooms in the castle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one of the rooms of the castle you can visit the \"Hall of Fame\".
