As "Slott" is a Swedish word for Castle, I'd suggest moving the article to "Gripsholm Castle". Any objections?

I'd leave it as it is, it's common not to translate the proper names of things

[edit] When and who built it

On the site of Swedish royal court it is stated than Gustav I Vasa built the castle himself. I see both here and in swedish article Bo Jonsson stated as initial dweller (and tend to believeit). Does anyone know (or atleast have a theory) why the royal family does not want to recognise that? -- Goldie (tell me) 07:20, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
