centuries, but the castle received its current appearance in the 1740s.
Engsö Castle is renowned all over the world for its ghosts and for the thin five-foot-long ”Engsökedjan” chain embedded in the wall of the castle, which, according to legend, was won by Johan Sigismund Sparre, the last of his line, in a game of dice with the devil himself.
