- The Founder. First thing first. Who built Uppsala Slott? It was none other than Gustav Eriksson (1496-1560), of House Vasa, First of His Name (if we say it in Game of Thrones style).

Uppsala Castle was the the site of Rikssalen (Swedish for: the Hall of State) for many years. It was ruined by a fire in 1702 and later even used as a quarry for the royal palace in Stockholm! Eventually rebuilt in classic style it serves as the residence of the governour of the Uppland region.
