Constructed in the late 1540s under the rule of Gustav Vasa, Uppsala Castle stands as a testament to centuries of Swedish history. This historic fortress has witnessed pivotal events like the Sture Murders and the abdication of Queen Christina of Sweden. Today, the castle serves as a venue for meetings and conferences in its majestic Great Hall, while also being the residence of the County Governor. Visitors can explore the Uppsala Peace Museum, attend lectures, enjoy films, appreciate modern art at the Uppsala Art Museum, and delve into the castle's history amidst the ruins of Vasaborg.
