Ströms slott: The 1852 reconstruction of a manor house

From a 17th-century manor to a daycare center, Ströms slott in Sweden has undergone several transformations, including a reconstruction in 1852.

Ströms slott, situated in the Lilla Edet Municipality of Bohuslän, Sweden, was initially a manor house with two wings and a slate roof built between 1685 and 1691. The property was sold to Asmus Heinrich Evers, a wholesaler who had immigrated from Lübeck, Germany, in the 1840s.

The manor house was demolished or burned down in 1851. The current main building was built in 1852 according to drawings by architect Edvard Medén.

In the 1980s, the manor was converted into a conference and restaurant facility. After a bankruptcy in 1990, the manor house underwent renovation. In 2007, it reopened for use as a preschool and daycare center, Ströms slott förskola.
