Talk:List of castles and palaces in Sweden

Untitled
Obviously this article is a list of castles in Sweden. Is there, should there be, a similar (and prob more extensive) list of manors in Sweden? Anyone interested in contributing?KarlXII 10:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't really know anything about them myself, but, yes, starting the list is a good idea.
 * Check out Category:Houses in Sweden and crown palaces in Sweden for some related articles. There's a list of manor houses at manor house, but most of them seem to be in the UK at the moment.
 * On a side note, this article itself does need extending - I'm sure there are many missing castles. --David Edgar 18:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


 * This is a list, that started as "List of castles in Sweden". Obviously the Swedish term "slott" has been routinely translated into "Castle", which is misleading as it in most cases should be translated into "Palace", "Manor house" or just "House". It should be observed that there in fact are few (fortified) castles in Sweden, most of them royal castles. Boberger (talk) 10:55, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Date
I've been trying to ce the last sections of the list so it all looks the same. But while adding the information, I'm curious as to what the heading "date" is supposed to denote? Date founded, building started, building finished, main period of building or what? For example, Tullgarn palace is one of the finest examples in Sweden of a Gustavian palace, so it would make sense to put the date as 18th century, but the history of the palace goes back much further. I've improvised so far. Does anyone know what the idea behind the "date" heading is? Whatever it is it should be clarified.

Any ideas? Thanks! Yakikaki (talk) 10:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)


 * While looking for a manor, I came across this list. I have updated the redirects so that the names are all the same as the actual articles. I have no idea what the "date" is supposed to mean, but having dealt with all the Grill's estates, I think there should be two dates/columns: "Commenced in" and "Completed in" (or maybe "First completed in" since it may have been converted since then). w.carter -Talk  18:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Most listed here are not castles
The list has always needed major attention, and the English names of most of these buildings need to be changed, since they are palaces, not castles (a common Swenglish problem). I've been hoping to have the time to fix all that for years now. Don't know if I'll ever get to it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:52, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
