Gripsholm Castle (Swedish: Gripsholms slott) is a castle in Mariefred, Södermanland, Sweden. It is located by lake Mälaren in south central Sweden, in the municipality of Strängnäs, about 60 km west of Stockholm
In 1526, the Carthusian Abbey was dissolved by King Gustav I during the Swedish Reformation.
The King tore the convent building and the old castle down, and built a fortified castle with circular corner towers and a wall, for defensive purposes
King Gustav had it constructed to serve as one of the main residences of the royal house. The castle was constructed between 1537 and 1545, and often served as the residence of the royal court: during the Dacke War, for example, the royal children were housed there.
