Fornsigtuna, Manor house in Upplands-Bro Municipality, Sweden
Fornsigtuna stands near Lake Mälaren, featuring traditional Swedish architecture with wooden elements and extensive grounds surrounding the main building.
The site dates back to the 11th century when it functioned as a royal estate, mentioned in historical records by Pope Alexander III.
Archaeological excavations at Fornsigtuna revealed artifacts from the Vendel and Viking Ages, showing patterns of early Scandinavian settlements.
The manor house lies 4 kilometers west of modern Sigtuna, accessible through marked paths and public transportation from nearby urban centers.
The location changed its name to Signhildsberg in 1680, inspired by an Old Norse legend about characters Hagbard and Signy.
