Thureholm Castle

Leaving the picturesque town of Trosa we stopped for a quick look and a photo of a castle. Seven hundred years ago there stood another castle here called Gäddeholm. In 1640 a new castle was built on the same spot. It didn't last very long as it was burned down during the Russian Pillage of 1719. Ten years after that the construction started of the current castle, Thureholm. Named after Thure Gabriel Bielke. Today the castle is owned by the Bonde family who also owns Hörningsholms castle.
