Introduction
Uppsala Castle was initiated by Gustav Vasa in the 16th century and expanded by later kings — a leading example of Swedish Renaissance fortification. Raised on a high platform above the city and river, it saw major events like the Sture murders and now houses the Uppsala County Museum, whose collections span royal power and Swedish science.
