The manor built for Elis Fischer

The manor built for Elis Fischer

A story of a Stockholm manor house with a history of many uses.

Edsby Castle (Swedish: Edsby slott) is a manor house located in Stockholm, Sweden. Completed in 1872, the manor was built for Elis Fischer, the chief executive of Skandia, who was accused of fraud.

Before 1968, the building served as the Teleborg girls' school. Since 1968, it has functioned as a retirement home.

Vardaga acquired the building in 2015. The manor remains a significant part of the city's landscape, transitioning from a private residence to a school and then a home for the elderly.
