Elvesta gård, Manor house in Botkyrka Municipality, Sweden

Elvesta gård is a one-storey manor house of knuttimrad timber, panelled and painted red with yellow window frames and corner boards, on the western shore of Tullingesjön in Botkyrka. Its two remaining wings were moved in 1917 to flank the main building as pocher, and a red fence with yellow posts encloses the yard. A planted avenue runs north and a garden south.

Elvesta is first mentioned in writing on 22 March 1298 in a donation, and medieval forms of the name include Æluerstum and Elwistum. In the 17th century a säteri was established here and the village of Nibble was absorbed into it. The present main building and wings were raised in the 1730s for Count Swen Lagerberg on older foundations; architect Carl Johan Cronstedt, owner in the mid-18th century, altered the roofs and interiors.

The grounds show evidence of Bronze and Iron Age settlements through rock carvings and burial fields scattered around the property. These traces tell the story of communities that inhabited this place long before the current manor was built.

The property hosts an active equestrian society that runs a riding and driving program with horses. Visitor access and timing depend on the activities and schedules managed by the riding society.

In the cellar of the main building a whitewashed brick barrel vault survives; a red limestone capital suggests it may predate the 17th century and could be a remnant of a 12th-century Cistercian monastery. The cellar also held a section once used as a prison cell, reportedly fitted with iron rings in the walls.
