Svindersvik, 18th-century manor house and museum in Nacka, Sweden
Svindersvik is an 18th-century manor house with French-inspired Rococo architecture in Nacka. The complex includes the main building, a kitchen wing, a waterside pavilion, and formally designed gardens.
The manor house was built in the 1740s for Claes Grill, director of the Swedish East India Company. The estate served as a summer residence accessible by water from Stockholm.
The banquet hall showcases late 18th-century wall decorations and an ornate chandelier, while an impressive tiled stove dominates the space. The interior preserves the furnishings of the 1700s with Chinese wallpapers and silk-upholstered furniture from that era.
The site is open to visitors in summer with guided tours that include the main house, kitchen building, and waterside pavilion. The tours provide a comprehensive view of the entire complex and how it was used.
The tiled stove in the banquet hall is considered the tallest of its kind in Sweden and shows the craftsmanship of the era. This remarkable structure still stands in its original location and visually dominates the room.
