Stenhammar Castle
The Stenhammar Royal Castle is located in the Swedish municipality of Flen . The property belonging to the castle covers 2000 hectares, of which 1200 hectares are covered with forest.
The entire estate had been known as Slädhammar since the late 14th century . The name change took place when today's two-story main building with its turrets was built in 1658.

This lease should be 1,000 crowns per year. Prince Wilhelm lived in the castle from 1903 to 1965, after which the Crown Prince and today's King Karl XVI took over. Gustav the lease.
