The mansion a leader called home

A story not just of a building, but of the man who demanded it be built.

Edsby Castle is a manor house in Stockholm, Sweden, completed in 1872 for a man with an unusual past. The manor was his residence, but he was accused of fraud and had to leave the country. Before 1968, Edsby Castle was a girls' school, but the specific name is not mentioned in the source. Since 1968, it has served as a retirement home. Vardaga acquired the building in 2015. Though known for its history and architecture, Edsby Castle was built by this mysterious man.
