Lindholmen Castle (Swedish: Lindholmens slott) is a castle ruins at Lidköping Municipality in Västra Götaland County, Sweden. [1]
History
[edit]Lindholmen was first mentioned in 1514. The property was made a manor house in 1516. Vice Admiral Bengt Gabrielsson Oxenstierna (1623–1702) rebuilt the courtyard into a large fortified castle. In 1792, the castle burned to the ground and now only a 17th-century wing remain.[2]
