I have posted 2 photos of this castle before. This is a closer view where I tried to capture some of the ornaments and the beautiful roofs.

"Vadstena Castle was built by King Gustav Vasa in 1545 as a fortress to protect Stockholm from enemies from the south. The fortress consisted of three smaller stone buildings facing the lake, Vättern, three 31 meter wide ramparts, a courtyard, a moat and four circular cannons turrets." (quote from Wikipedia)
