Farsta gård, Manor house in Stockholm Municipality, Sweden
Farsta gård is a manor house in the Stockholm region featuring a red-painted main building in Carolinian style with two symmetrical wings flanking it. These side buildings originally functioned as storage facilities for grain and other farm goods.
The property dates back to 1384 when it was owned by Bo Jonsson Grip, a prominent figure of that era. The current main building took its present form in the 1680s and has remained the visual centerpiece of the site.
The property carries the Stockholm City Museum's blue classification, marking its status as a preserved site of local historical importance. Visitors can see how such estates once functioned as economic and social centers in the region.
The manor welcomes visitors daily and can also be booked for conferences and private functions. It is worth checking in advance whether rooms might be in use for an event so you can visit without interruption.
Standing near the manor is an ancient rune stone called Sö 290, carved in the 11th century with names of people such as Tore and Sven. This stone provides a tangible link to the site's occupation and use during the Viking period.
