Ållonö, situated on the southern side of Bråviken, is a testament to grandeur and history. Constructed around 1670 by riksrådet friherre Gustaf Kurck, the slott features the essence of baroque architecture, thanks to the designs of renowned architect Nicodemus Tessin den äldre. Around 30,000 holländska light yellow bricks and holländskt glaserat taktegel som benämndes "hollenes moppen" were used for the facade, with the latter arriving at the construction site in 1671.
The cellar vaults of the main building may have originated from a farm built by Göran Holgersson in 1584. The slott has been owned by several families such as the Grip-släkten, Gera, Kurck, Lilliehöök, Oxenstierna, Hamilton, Sperling, Ekeblad, von Yhlen, Du Rietz and Flach. It was never affected by the reduction, but it has decreased in size over time due to various transactions with the crown.
