Sundbyholm Castle is a castle near the town of Eskilstuna, Sweden on the southern shore of Lake Mälaren. It was built by the Admiral of the Navy Carl Gyllenhielm, son of King Charles IX of Sweden. The castle is known for the beauty of its grounds and nearby environs, inspiring several paintings and drawings dating back to the 19th century. The most famous of these is 'The Old Castle' by Prince Eugen, Duke of Närke, who painted here many times. In 1975, the Swedish Bandy Association observed its 50th anniversary at Sundbyholm Castle.
