Tureborg Castle

[2] Typical of Malmgren's style, a secret passage was included, activated by pressing a hidden button on a wooden panel.

[3] No proper blueprints were ever used, instead much of the structure was largely improvised from postcards depicting the castles of the Rhine Valley, with help from Malmgren's close friend, the builder J.

[4] Until his death in 1922, Malmgren held many grand feasts inspired by national romanticism, featuring for example fully roasted pigs and mead served in wooden tankards.

[3] During the last six years of his life he was however physically unable to visit the place, admiring it from afar in his home Villa Elfkulla.

Continued disrepair, combined with vandalism, led to its purchase by the builder Kjell Stolt, who planned to dismantle the castle and reuse its timber.
