Castles such as Gripsholm exemplify this borrowing habit. Great castle-building activity was instigated by the Danish and Swedish rulers of the 16th to 18th cent.; outstanding examples include Kronborg (c.1570-1590) and Fredriksborg (c.1560-1620) castles and the rebuilt castle of Stockholm (1690-1708; 1727-53).
