Elleholms House

Elleholms House is a two-story timber manor constructed in 1730 with a plastered facade, situated on a small island formed by the Mörrumsån river. The property preserves the spatial layout of a traditional Swedish estate set within its riverside setting.

The estate was owned by the Diocese of Lund during medieval times and sustained damage during the Engelbrekt rebellion of 1436. By the 18th century it became a private residence, undergoing ownership changes that shaped its architectural development.

The house reflects architectural ideals of Swedish nobility, with its rooms offering insights into how an estate family lived. The building style and furnishings show how taste and daily life changed over the centuries.

The house is reached via Elleholm village, where signage guides visitors toward the riverside location. The grounds and outdoor areas are easily accessible, making it comfortable to explore the property and its surroundings.

A stone memorial in the park marks the 1854 visit of King Frederik VII of Denmark, whose wife held ownership of the estate. This royal connection adds a historical layer rarely found in other country properties of the region.
