Finspång Castle is a manor-house complex in the town of Finspång in Östergötland County, eastern Sweden, dating to the 17th century. It developed as the seat of the industrial and noble families who operated local ironworks.
The site comprises the main manor house and surrounding parkland close to the town centre and the industrial area that grew up around the workshops. The estate has been tied to local manufacturing and the region’s early modern industrialisation.
The castle and associated buildings were established during the 1600s as part of the estate and ironworks enterprises; ownership remained connected to the De Geer family and their successors. Over time the property has served as a noble residence and as the focal point of the town’s industrial community.
Finspång Castle sits within the municipality of Finspång in Östergötland County, eastern Sweden, adjacent to the urban area of Finspång and within the agricultural and forested landscape of the province.
