Welcome to a journey through the history of one of Sweden's most influential noble families. In this tour, we shine the light on Jakob De la Gardie - a person who has often been overshadowed by his more famous son Magnus Gabriel, but whose life and deeds laid the foundation for the family's elevation and splendour.
The tour follows the family from Pontus De la Gardie's arrival in Sweden in the 16th century, through Jacob's social advancement and political importance, to the power and status that culminated when Magnus Gabriel had Läckö rebuilt into the magnificent county castle we know today.
Together with our guide, you will get an in-depth picture of power games and family dynamics. Follow how the De la Gardie family rose to the absolute top of the kingdom and how their legacy still characterises Läckö today.
