Åkerö Castle, Manor house in Flen Municipality, Sweden
Description
Åkerö is a manor house in Flen Municipality featuring light yellow walls, balanced side wings, and rooms decorated with French-style details. The estate sits near Lake Yngaren with gardens that frame the building and its grounds.
History
In 1757, Carl Gustaf Tessin commissioned architect Carl Hårleman to design the current building, which replaced an earlier structure damaged by fire. This project was part of a broader renewal of the estate during the 18th century.
Culture
The name Åkerö refers to a field of grain in Swedish, reflecting the estate's agricultural roots. Inside, French design elements and painted walls show the artistic tastes that Swedish nobility valued during this era.
Practical
The estate opens for scheduled musical concerts organized throughout the year in partnership with Södermanlands Music and Theater. Plan your visit around these events, as access to the grounds depends on the performance calendar.
Did you know?
The estate preserves an original apple tree planted in 1759 that became the mother tree for a distinctive Swedish apple variety bearing the same name. This historic fruit remains valued by orchardists and gardeners today.
