Introduction
Linköping Castle is a Renaissance palace beside the cathedral, once a bishop's and royal residence, now the seat of the Östergötland governor and home to the Castle and Cathedral Museum. It witnessed the Swedish Reformation and the pivotal turns of the Sture era; its courtyards and rooms still reveal old power and faith.
