Linnaeus Hammarby, Botanical museum with historic mansion in Uppsala, Sweden.
Linnaeus Hammarby is an ensemble of wooden structures on a hillside near Uppsala, consisting of a two-story residence, service buildings, and a museum building behind it. The site preserves its original 18th-century appearance, with period furnishings, wallpapers, and scientific collections left largely as they were arranged.
Linnaeus acquired the estate in 1758 as a summer home and personal research center where he worked until his death in 1778. A museum building was constructed on the hillside later to house his important collections of plants and specimens.
Visitors see the scientific instruments and personal objects that Linnaeus used daily to develop his theories about nature. The place reveals how an 18th-century scholar organized his knowledge and pursued his ideas within a private country setting.
The estate operates seasonally from spring through autumn, with guided tours available in several languages. Wear sturdy shoes since the paths navigate across uneven ground around the buildings and garden areas.
The garden on the grounds features many plant species that were cultivated during Linnaeus' time and reveal what vegetation he used in his research. These living specimens offer an unexpected insight into how he developed his botanical theories.
