Historic buildings that stand empty have been a source of fascination to people since time immemorial. This is certainly true of Läckö Castle. Time seems to have stood still here since Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie was compelled to return his property to the Swedish Crown in 1681. Today the castle has once again been furnished with authentic 17th century objects to recreate a picture of a nobleman’s home. This lavishly illustrated book provides an introduction to both the furnishings and the interior decoration at Läckö Castle and an invaluable insight into the splendour of the Swedish Baroque.
