Löfstad Castle (Swedish: Löfstad slott) is a château situated near Norrköping, the province of Östergötland, in Sweden. Löfstad has its origins from the 15th century, but the present building was erected by Axel Lillie in the 17th century. It came to the von Fersen Family through Hedvig Catharina De la Gardie (who was the heir of her mother Hedvig Catharina Lillie) and to the Piper Family through Sophie Piper, who was sister to count Axel von Fersen.
The interior is intact since 1926, when the last owner died. Löfstad is today a museum open to the public with guided tours. There is a café and a retaurant at the castle.
