Sundsby, Historic manor house in Tjörn Municipality, Sweden.
Sundsby Säteri stands as a well-preserved 18th-century manor house complex surrounded by wooded hills and natural bays on the island of Mjörn in Bohuslän.
Originally mentioned in Bishop Eystein's Land Book from 1388, the estate was rebuilt around 1763 after fire destroyed the original medieval structures in 1720.
The estate hosts annual celebrations of Norway's National Day on May 17th and exhibitions dedicated to Margareta Huitfeldt, reflecting its historical Norwegian connections.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, with the longest trail covering 4.2 kilometers through varied terrain and scenic viewpoints.
The estate remained privately owned for over 320 years until Tjörn Municipality acquired it in 2003, making it accessible to the public for the first time.
