Uppsala Castle – a former scene for important events 

Uppsala Castle (Uppsala Slott) is a 16th-century royal castle in the historical city of Uppsala, Sweden. Throughout much of its early history, the castle played a major role in the history of Sweden. King Gustav Vasa began construction of Uppsala Castle in 1549. Kings Erik XIV, Johan III and Karl IX all remodelled and expanded the citadel into a representative renaissance palace. 

During Erik XIV's reign, the castle was the site of the Sture Murders. In 1630, King Gustaf II Adolf announced the decision that Sweden should participate in the Thirty Years' War. It was in the castle that the abdication of Queen Kristina was announced in 1654. Uppsala Castle was seriously damaged by fire in 1702, being reduced essentially to a ruin. Reconstruction took many years and was indeed hampered by the remains of the castle being used as a quarry for stone to be used in building the Royal Palace in Stockholm. Today there is a museum in the old 16th century ruins called Vasaborgen, open all summer. The castle is also the site of the Uppsala Art museum and House of peace museum.
