Thorskog Castle

This 'fairytale 'castle, built in 1892 and situated by the Göta river just 30 minutes north of Gothenburg, is surrounded by grounds landscaped in the English country house style. Here you will find peace, supreme comfort and personal attention in opulent, historic surroundings. The cuisine is first rate, and the 'royal supper', announced by the chef, is served in the Squire's Dining Hall or in the Floral Room. Several golf courses nearby.
