Bäckaskog Castle (Bäckaskogs Slott) in Skåne is a breathtaking former thirteenth-century Premonstratensian monastery converted into a royal summer residence. Situated on an isthmus between Lake Oppmannasjön and Lake Ivösjön, the estate is famous as the favorite retreat of King Karl XV. Beyond its serene gardens and rich monastic heritage lies a reputation for royal ghost encounters and phantom horses.
Borgvattnet Vicarage in Jämtland County is widely acclaimed as Sweden’s most famous haunted house. Built in 1876 for the local Lutheran rector, this wooden rectory gained national notoriety during the mid-twentieth century when successive holy men documented terrifying spectral occurrences. Today operating as a guest house, visitors who manage to stay through the entire night are awarded a formal certificate attesting to their bravery.
