Häringe Slott can host conferences and seminars for up to 150 participants, private parties and weddings in a castle with 67 bedrooms, 25 minutes south of Stockholm. The venue sits in Västerhaninge, next to a large nature reserve and the archipelago, and can be booked in full for exclusive events.
Seminars and company events
The castle lists meeting rooms for 4 to 150 participants, and some open directly onto the apple grove and the statues in the park. The largest is the Kreuger wing at up to 150, followed by Jenny at 80, Electrolux at 60, Kungsörnen at 50 and Åke at 40. Smaller rooms such as Åre, Tage, Alweg, Stockholm and Amsterdam take between 8 and 25 people. The salons and the park can also be used for informal sessions. A relaxation area at the sauna takes groups of up to 10, and every meeting room can be set up with a phone nursery for a quieter session.
Conference packages and after-session activities are sold by the castle. Named options include clay pigeon shooting with lasers, a tournament on the bowling alley from the 1930s, a drink in front of the fire in the stone hall, a ghost walk and a themed mystery evening. The castle is a member of Svenska Möten, a network of selected conference venues, and is certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel or belongs to its network.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are sold in summer and winter packages, planned with a wedding coordinator. Parties and events are also available, from birthdays and themed evenings to company galas. Smaller groups can book a dining room or a few rooms, while larger events can rent the whole castle. A portfolio on the site shows summer parties on the grounds, poolside receptions and winter weddings.

History and setting
Häringe was owned by Torsten Kreuger, whose estate went bankrupt, and the industrialist Axel Wenner-Gren bought it afterward. The stone castle keeps a library, a billiard room, a 1930s bowling alley and a 1930s pool.
Getting there
The castle is about 25 minutes by road south of Stockholm, at 137 91 Västerhaninge. It is closed or booked on November 13 to 15 this year. Contact the booking team for availability.
