Långsjö gård has old roots as a croft under Långbro, and gave its name to the Långsjö neighborhood. The farm was built during the 1600s, but the two green apartment buildings up on the hill were commissioned by textile merchant Ditzinger in 1882. Robert Ditzinger's interior design and furnishings firm was founded in 1854 and remained in various forms until January 2005. According to Ditzinger's newspaper advertisement from 1893, the firm sold among other things carpets, furniture fabrics, curtain fabrics, tablecloths, blankets, and linen and cotton furnishings.
The green houses were later purchased by patron Lignell, and when the city of Stockholm owned both the houses and the land for a period in the middle of the 1900s, they had the pedestrian and cycle path built, which partially runs on a console bridge along the hill. Lignell's stairs down to the lake still remain.
Liljekonvaljekungens greenhouse is gone, but some old apple trees remain, as well as some old oaks.
