Arbottna: An area inhabited as early as prehistoric times

Arbottna, a manor situated on Muskö in Stockholms södra skärgård, is steeped in a history that spans beyond its 1790s main building. The area was inhabited as early as prehistoric times, which a grave field with about 15 mounds found approximately 525 meters north of Arbottna can bear witness to.

In the 16th century, the area was part of the goods of the medieval Swedish king's houses. This has led to speculation that a king's trusted man was the one who first inhabited the farm. Arbottna was one of three farms that the geometriska jordeboken of 1638 occupied: Norrgården, Sörgården, and Mellangården.
