The manor where three sisters kept land from the crown

We invite you to look closely at how the sisters Ebba, Maria, and Christina held their ground during the reductions of the 17th century. While the state pulled land across the country, these three sisters managed to prevent the estate from being seized.

The history of this site invites deeper exploration. Mentioned for the first time in the late 1500s, it began as a säteri under friherre Jakob Nääf. It later passed to the Lagerbielke family for nearly 200 years, during which time the library was expanded by Johan Gustaf Lagerbjelke. You can observe the evolution of the architecture through the wings joined in 1712 and the modernization that occurred around 1900 when the wings were raised an extra story.

Since the city government of Stockholm purchased the estate in 1968, it has served as a representative venue for the Stockholmmässan management. It is also rented out as a conference center. We invite you to notice the details, such as the foundations of barns that burned down in the 1960s, the caretaker's house with its porridge clock, and the villa Elfkullen.
