== Uppsala Castle ==
'''Uppsala Castle''' (Swedish: ''Uppsala slott'') is a 16th-century royal castle in the historic city of [[Uppsala]], [[Country: Sweden|Sweden]]. Throughout much of its early history, the castle played a major role in the history of Sweden.

The medieval Archbishop's Castle in Uppsala was close to the site of the present-day [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archbishop%27s_Palace,_Uppsala Archbishop's Palace], west of the cathedral, and was confiscated by King [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_I_Vasa_of_Sweden Gustav I Vasa] during the protestant reformation. King Gustav I ordered the construction of the renaissance castle in 1549, on the present site on a hill south of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppsala_Cathedral Uppsala Cathedral], with the old Archbishop's Castle being used for building material and subsequently demolished.

Uppsala Castle was built during the time Sweden was on its way to become a great power in Europe. Kings [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_XIV_of_Sweden Erik XIV], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III_of_Sweden John III] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_IX_of_Sweden Charles IX] all remodeled and expanded the citadel into a representative [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance Renaissance] palace. During Erik XIV's reign, the castle was the site of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sture_Murders Sture Murders]. In 1630, King [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavus_II_Adolphus Gustavus II Adolphus] announced the decision that Sweden should participate in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War Thirty Years' War]. It was in the castle that the Swedish government announced the abdication of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Kristina Queen Kristina] in 1654.

Uppsala Castle was supposedly seriously damaged by fire in 1702. Reconstruction took many years and was indeed hampered by the remains of the castle being used as a quarry for stone to be used in building [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_Palace Stockholm Palace].

Uppsala Castle was the administrative center of Uppland and the site of the Hall of State (Swedish: ''Rikssalen'') for many years. Uppsala Castle is the residence of the County Governor of [[Region: Uppsala|Uppsala County]]. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dag_Hammarskj%C3%B6ld Dag Hammarskjöld], former [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary-General_of_the_United_Nations Secretary-General of the United Nations], spent his childhood days in the castle when his father, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Hammarskj%C3%B6ld Hjalmar Hammarskjöld], was governor of Uppsala County. Today, the castle is also the site of the Uppsala Art Museum.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uppsala_Castle Wikipedia]</ref>
