Thorskogs Slott
Västerlanda, Sweden · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Shipyard owner Petter Larsson built Thorskogs Slott in 1892 on a site that had already been forge, mill, and manor since the 13th century. Thirty minutes north of Gothenburg in Bohuslän, the castle hotel keeps winning Castle Hotel of the Year votes and sells hiking weekends with picnic baskets. The house still reads as a private castle rather than a conference block.
