Come along and visit today with me the STUNNING MERLO #CASTLE from the year 1883 during a beautiful #winters day. ☃️ Its #architecture is very unique and just wonderful to see. The location from this castle is in the town of TIMRÅ, just above SUNDSVALL ~ in the Västernorrland County, #SWEDEN. 🇸🇪
This castle has an interesting history too, read on to find out 😊
With our visit to see the unique architecture of this castle in Timrå, SWEDEN 🇸🇪 I enter in this MONTH’S #WINTERCHALLENGE from @worldmappin. You can read all about it 👇🏻
Are you joining us? Do try, it is FUN! : Winter is coming 🥶🥶🥶 - and with it the Worldmappin Winter Challenge 🥳🥳 So let’s join in, in the #WINTERCHALLENGE ☃️❄️
Today’s photographic selection will be of 18 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date : 10 December 2023
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone 📱
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Location of the #CASTLE 🏰 we find on the following screenshots of Google Maps :
Zooming out we see it is above Sundsvall… about the middle of Sweden on the east coast.
More information you find in Swedish on the following Wikipedia page here: Merlo Slott / MERLO CASTLE
It has its own website in 3 languages (Swedish, German and English) were you find more interesting information about the history of this castle. Have a look and read on the MERLO CASTLE website here!
Do have a read into the history ☝🏻 of this stunning castle and how it became now a holiday accommodation. So if you are in the neighbourhood or passing through, check out this beautiful place 🥰
It is so well preserved and this castle 🏰 has luckily undergone many restorations over the years. To preserve its character of almost a fairy tale castle from a long forgotten time…
So without further ado, let’s visit this castle now 😁
Did you take your gloves 🧤 and scarf? 🧣 Ok, good 😊
We can start now our walk together as we are all warm and wrapped up well.
At the entrance of the estate, we see a large gate. It is luckily open so we can enter.
The small road has trees on either side that guide you further into the distance. We can already see a glimpse of the castle 🏰
Its yellow bricks 🧱 stand out against the white of the snow ❄️
As we walk closer by we see more and more… oh this is EXCITING 🤩 next to the path we see some lanterns, it is too light for them to be on already. Our visit is during the morning around 11 o’clock 🕰️
Finally! We see the castle in its full glory 🏰 🥰
WOW 🤩 Just look at the towers the shapes and all the #architectural #elements / #features
We take a closer look. So many details to see. The red bricks 🧱 draw beautiful patterns on the yellow walls and also around the windows. Such a stunning feature.
We look closer at the left side of the building. The top part. It so looks #romantic 🥰
Shall we focus on the middle part of the castle?
I see a large balcony.
I can imagine sitting before the large bay windows… looking out over the estate. Trying to see the wildlife that visits during the winters days.
Back to the left side. The castle must have many nooks and crannies with so many layers and towers 🏰
The right side of the castle… we have to walk a bit further to see it properly.
As we walk further, we look back towards the path we came from. A beautiful view along the treelined path 😊
I couldn’t resist to show you the tower a bit better.
Finally we can see the right side better. It is where the entrance of the castle is. Protected by the other thinner tower.
We stand further away and take in the entire view of this stunning castle.
What a beauty, don’t you think?
It wasn’t open for visitors here yet so I can’t show you the insides. The time of our visit I don’t believe anybody was there.
The castle has some unique features. The Christmas tree in the front looks cute and fits the Christmas mood 🎄 in December.
Slowly we walk back and look one more time…
Bye bye beautiful castle…
…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
