Exhibition: Castle wives and convent sisters
Open daily from 11 am to 5 pm from 1 June to 31 August, then weekends in September from 11 am to 4 pm.
For almost 750 years, women have worked, had influence and taken responsibility at Skokloster. From the closed world of women behind cloister walls in the medieval monastery to the efforts of the castle wives right up until the 1960s.
With the exhibition's focus on themes such as the importance of marriage, social responsibility, leadership and the search for new women's roles, we follow in the footsteps of the women who lived and worked at Skokloster. A hitherto hidden story that is now brought to light.
The exhibition opened in the summer of 2022 and now meets the audience again in the magnificent guest room floors of the castle.
