historic manor estate with roots from the 14th century – 35 hectares on a peninsula near norrtälje
just ten minutes from central norrtälje, on a scenic peninsula by gillfjärden, lies this magnificent manor estate on approximately 35 hectares of land. a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of swedish history in a setting that offers both stately living and a nature-oriented lifestyle, with hunting, fishing, and opportunities for keeping animals.
a place with royal heritage
the estate’s history stretches back to a royal letter from 1380. ownership records are known from the 16th century, and the property bears traces of dramatic events — including being burned by the russians in 1719 and subsequently rebuilt by count fabian wrede. in the mid-20th century, all buildings were renovated under the supervision of master builder lilliesköld, with the exception of the southern wing, which underwent a full renovation in the 1970s.
grand courtyard and classic manor atmosphere
the heart of the estate is the main manor house, approximately 550 sqm plus a full basement, built in a classic style with two full floors and a basement. you are welcomed by a magnificent entrance hall and interiors filled with period details — tiled stoves, painted ceilings, and wide planks create an atmosphere of historic elegance. the interior includes a kitchen, dining rooms, lounges, a gentlemen’s room, billiard room, bathrooms, and several bedrooms on the upper floor for family and guests.
two symmetrical wings, approximately 250 sqm each, frame the courtyard and are in excellent condition, with high standards and unique tiled stoves. beneath the southern wing lies an older vaulted cellar — a hidden gem ideal for a wine cellar.
the manor house and wings are well-maintained, except for some plasterwork, the terrace condition, and a few stretched fabric ceilings. the dormant planned garden around the main building provides an almost cast le-like setting — a harmonious backdrop to the historic buildings.
the estate is currently undergoing facade renovation of the main house and two wings, which will be completed upon the new owner’s takeover.
