Person

Anna de Noailles collection of poems Le coeur innombrable has been climbed into musical vice, and is performed by Emma Bendz, vocals, Hanna Bendz, cello, and Niclas Malmberg, piano at this release concert for the album the trio just released.

Anna Elisabeth, Countess Mathieu de Noailles, born Princess Anna Elisabeth Bibesco-Bassaraba de Brancovan in 1876 in Paris, died 1933, was a French countess, poet and writer. Anna de Noailles married Count Mathieu de Noailles in 1897 and made her debut in 1901 with the poetry booklet Le coeur innombrable. Her poems therefore fit like the hand in the glove of Salsta Castle, a castle modeled after the French splendor castles.

Admission to the Easter art exhibition is of course included in the concert entrance.

**A Song to Selma with Sofia Karlsson**

Music and menu inspired by Selma lagerlöf. \
\
Sofia Karlsson will come in April 2026 to Salsta Castle for a magical evening\
where Selma Lagerlöf's lyrics and stories are given new life in music! This\
A unique evening you will not want to miss... \
\
Experience an atmospheric evening at Salsta Castle with A Song to Selma —\
a musical concert with Sofia Karlsson in an inspiring castle setting. You\
choose for yourself whether you want to experience the concert as it is at 20.00 or\
let it be a wonderful evening with both dinner and music starting\
6 p.m. \
\
This evening is a celebration of Selma Lagerlöf's work and work — a\
magical evening in the sign of literature and music. Sofia Karlsson is a\
of Sweden's most appreciated live artists, singers and\
instrumentalists, known for their interpretations of, among others, Dan Andersson\
And most recently Selma Lagerlöf. She has been awarded four Grammys in
Sweden and two in Denmark, as well as several other awards, and in 2025 received\
The project A Song for the Selma Selma Lagerlöf Society Scholarship. \
\
The music in the performance is freely based on Selma Lagerlöfs\
stories, speeches, poems and letters. Together with the lyricist Johan
Salberg has Sofia Karlsson created themes from Selma's world — always up to date\
for man, then as now — take shape in new songs. The work has emerged\
for several years and has a special anchor in the place: Johan Salberg\
developed parts of the material during their walks around Salsta\
castle, in a creative process that ties together the Selma environments of Fryksdalen\
with the castle landscape in Uppland. The result is a close and vivid\
a concert experience that combines the joy of music, storytelling and an entrance to
Selma Lagerlöf's rich writing world. \
\
Let the evening begin with a dinner in the historic room of the castle and continue\
then with the concert where Sofia Karlsson's musical compositions and interpretations take\
Dive into Selma Lagerlöf's storytelling world. We look forward to receiving health\
Welcome to a full evening of warmth, community and live music.

Concert and dinner

SVT's Historien om Sverige recorded the 18th century section on Salsta and the 17th century section of Historieätarnas likewise. But the castle's ancestry is older than that; now we go back to the Middle Ages, the most turbulent time at Salsta Castle,

**Saturday 25 April at 6pm there will be a Historical Dinner at Salsta Castle**

After dinner, you will have the opportunity to try 15th-century dances led by Annika Windahl and the dance group [Branicula](https://upp17.n.nu/).

Before dinner, at 5 pm, there is a performance about Katarina Jagellonica, by and with Victoria Enefors.

This year marks 500 years since the birth of Katarina Jagiellonica — Polish-Lithuanian princess, Swedish queen and one of the most fascinating figures of the 16th century in Nordic and Central European history. At Salsta, the anniversary is celebrated through an evening where history, art and food come together in a cohesive whole. In the performance Katarina Jagiellonica herself comes forward and tells her life in I-form — about her childhood at the Polish court, about her marriage to Duke Johan, about her imprisonment on Gripsholm and about her role as queen in a country that became her new home. The show is based on historical sources and long-term research work on Katarina Jagiellonica's life and contemporary times. The performance takes place in historical costume, inspired by Katarina's own dress, and is performed with respect for the language, mentality and living conditions of the time. This is a unique opportunity to meet one of Sweden's queens not as an icon or symbol, but as a human being — with voice, memory and presence.

Price is 840SEK/person. Children up to 15 years 740kr. Price for performance alone is 150 SEK.

Garden party July 4-5

Yes, I will!

An exciting activity in which some of the participants happen to be evil conspirators. Others have the task of pointing out who these are, before the conspirators have succeeded in their intent. The problem is that none of the faithful can trust any of the others, since all of them, of course, claim their own innocence.

It's a lot like the traitors. However, unlike the Traitors, no one has to leave the castle prematurely, but the evicted has the opportunity to return to the competition.

Several coups d'état in Sweden have involved the lord of Salsta Castle. In the 14th century, Abjörn Sixtensson Sparre of Tofte was involved in the rebellion of the dukes against King Birger Magnusson. In the 15th century, Jöns Bengtsson had Oxenstierna Salsta as his base when he overthrew King Karl Knutsson Bonde. In the 16th century, Nils Bielke the Elder played an important role when King Sigismund was deposed. In the 18th century, Erik Brahe was executed after his failed coup d'état attempt. And even more dramatically, Sten Oxenstierna's intrigue between the Sturas and the Union kings ended, when the medieval castle at Salsta was burned to the ground by Sten Sture the Younger. What is the next revolution to be planned from Salsta?

The layout is such that you are divided into teams of 3-4 persons/teams, who then compete against each other in different missions around the castle. In each round, someone on the team then has a chance to win immunity. It is important to act first for the good of the team, and then for your own.

Between these challenges, on the one hand, the conspirators must decide who to remove from the game, and on the other hand, everyone must vote on who is suspected to be part of the group of evildoers. However, no one needs to leave the event prematurely, but still has a task in the game.

It is usually mainly adults who participate, but even young people appreciate the activity. However, children under the age of 10 may need the participation of an adult to join the tours.

The event is suitable for both a company where everyone knows each other well, for example at a birthday party, bachelorette party or team building activity for the workplace, association or organization, and for a composite group where most people are unknown to each other.

The game comes in two variants, one where Afternoon Tea is served with both tasty and sweet snacks, and one where coffee is not included (but of course can be purchased separately before the game starts). This date includes Afternoon Tea.

The Traitors with Afternoon Tea

Why did Salsta's lord Per Brahe die in 1772, only 25 years old? \
Where and how did the castle wife Ulrika Koskull die in 1805, who is now said to be walking again at the castle?

Book dinner with murder riddle to solve any of these murder riddles. For a smaller company, it is of course excellent that the participants compete to solve the murder mystery individually. But the most fun is usually to compete in teams of about 4-6 people, to have others to discuss the clues with. Perfect for birthday celebrations, bachelorette parties or to combine team building with a castle dinner!

A three-course dinner is included in the price but the cost of drinks is added and purchased on site.

*Warmly welcome! *

**Eric Schüldt** is a program host and cultural journalist.

On the blog Arcadia, Eric explores melancholy and sadness, with his sights set on a new way of life. During the evening, Eric will give examples of how masters throughout history have embodied sadness and melancholy. Why did they go there? And what can we glean from their art?

**Martin Shield** is a photographer and also known as a bass player in kent. What role does melancholy play in Martin's photography? In a conversation with Eric, Martin presents his images collected in a photo book, with a personal selection from the past few years. During the evening, the photo book is also on sale.

**L.T.Fisk** is the artist who captures in his very own and low-key way the beautiful sadness, the poetic, that envelops us in our everyday life. No one is more apt to set the mood this evening at Salsta Castle.
