Author evening with Cecilia Düringer

Welcome to an atmospheric author evening at Läckö Castle with Cecilia Düringer, well-known presenter of P3 History and esteemed storyteller.

Based on the book Witches Cecilia takes us back to 17th-century Sweden. A time of splendour and baroque, but also of fear, witch trials and judicial abuse. In 1668, »the great uproar« began, a period when nearly 300 women lost their lives accused of witchcraft.

During the evening, we get to hear the story of one of Sweden's biggest legal scandals, presented through both powerful images and historical facts, combined with a mingle meal at Läckö Castle's courtyard.

During this period, the castle can be a little chillier, so we recommend warm clothing for an extra cosy experience in our historic surroundings.
