Mårbacka

The Mårbacka manor house features preserved rooms, personal belongings, and a garden reflecting the life of author Selma Lagerlöf in the early 1900s.

After losing the estate to bankruptcy in 1889, Selma Lagerlöf repurchased Mårbacka in 1910 using her Nobel Prize money and transformed it into a grand manor.

The estate presents exhibitions about Selma Lagerlöf's literary works, including her famous novel Gösta Berling's Saga, which draws inspiration from the local region.

Visitors can join 45-minute guided tours of the manor house between 11:00 and 15:00, with English tours available daily at 14:00 during summer months.

The garden contains specific plants and trees selected by Selma Lagerlöf and horticulturist Ruth Martina Brandberg, maintaining their original 1920s design.
