Mälsåker House, Baroque castle in Stallarholmen, Sweden.
Description
Mälsåker House is a stone manor on the shore of Lake Mälaren with symmetrical wings and baroque ornamental details built in the 1670s. The structure displays the classical architectural features typical of that period, with carefully designed details throughout its facade and roof.
History
Gustaf Soop commissioned this residence in the 1660s with architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder designing it according to Swedish nobility standards. The construction followed the architectural conventions that the Swedish upper classes preferred for their estates.
Culture
The manor reflects how Swedish nobility lived through its grand rooms and formal gardens that hosted gatherings and ceremonies. Walking through these spaces gives a sense of the refined lifestyle that defined the upper classes during that era.
Practical
Visits are available through guided tours offered from June through August during the summer season. Travelers should plan their visit during these months and check in advance about tour availability and what to expect.
Did you know?
In 1853 owner Louise von Fersen lost the entire estate in a gambling incident and had to transfer it to Fredrik Åkerman. This sudden turn of events changed the property's history and shows how quickly wealth and ownership could shift.
