Linnaeus Hammarby, Botanical museum with historic mansion in Uppsala, Sweden.

The Linnaeus Hammarby estate comprises several wooden structures, including a two-story main house, east wing bakehouse, and west wing staff quarters.

Carl Linnaeus purchased this country estate in 1758, transforming it into his summer residence and private research facility until his death.

The estate exhibits original 18th-century furnishings, period wallpapers, and scientific instruments that belonged to the renowned botanist Carl Linnaeus.

The museum opens from May through September, offering guided tours in multiple languages and maintaining a garden with specimens dating to Linnaeus's time.

The natural history museum building, constructed on a hill behind the main house, protected Linnaeus's collections and served as an educational space.
