We live relatively close to the castle and almost every day we pass the large porcelain pile that reminds us of what was once the Rörstrand porcelain factory.

It was even more exciting than expected, not least because this turned out to be almost the last chance to see the inside of the castle.

Where would you like to go if you could time travel? Among other things, we would like to visit the Roman Empire.
