Castle adventures for children
Läckö Castle offers a variety of adventures and activities for children and young people. Over the years, our youngest visitors have helped the maid and the servant to find the princess's lost necklace, explore the curio cabinet with all its magical and strange objects, try their powers in jousting and be dubbed knight of Läckö, sneak around on a ghost hunt in the castle's dark and secret rooms, etc. All in the company of our mischievous and playful children's guides.
