The "Theatre King" Gustav III, who had the theatre built in the castle, even wrote his own plays and sometimes even took on a role himself

The church was built in the 12th century or earlier before falling into disrepair, being abandoned and finally demolished. It is said to have been deserted as early as 1645. Today, only the foundation stones remain to a height of about one meter. There are also two runestones here

The Mariefred Cemetery contains the grave of Kurt Tucholsky, who emigrated from Germany to Sweden in 1929. This was preceded by a five-month stay near Mariefred in the summer of 1929, where he found the material for his "summer story" Gripsholm Castle, published in 1931. Also in the cemetery is an "Estonia Bell," a memorial to the sinking of the ferry "Estonia" in 1994. (from Wikipedia)

This segment asphalt road. If you go further, it turns to gravel. I could pass with road bike.

The castle is ideal for a short break; the large parking lot is free and you can even get a snack.
