Swedish term or phrase: omgång
Not the usual context. It is part of the castle, Skokloster. I will give you the two places in which the word is found:
1. "Korridoren – Omgången" (heading to paragraph)
2. "Omgången leder till grevinnan Wrangels förmak, det första rummet i grevinnans svit i Wrangelvåningen."

Reference material about Skokloster, in Swedish:

Omgången
Korridor utanför paradvåningen. På varje våningsplan finns omgångar mellan rumssviterna och den centrala borggården. De leder besökaren runt i huset och till trapporna mellan våningarna.

Does it make you think just a little bit of the Swedish expression "Maktens korridorer" (which would be the equivalent of the Lobby of the U.S. Congress and "lobbying" in U.S. politics)?
