Kjesäter, Manor in Vingåker Municipality, Sweden

The rectangular manor building stands on landscaped grounds in Södermanland County, functioning as both an educational institution and accommodation facility.

During World War II, Kjesäter served as a crucial refugee transit center, processing approximately 50,000 people fleeing Nazi occupation in Norway.

The manor operates as a folkhögskola, a Swedish adult education institution that provides programs focused on personal development and community engagement.

Visitors can access accommodation services at the youth hostel section of the property, which includes basic amenities and educational facilities.

The facility maintained capacity for 800 refugees across 30 barracks during World War II, conducting medical examinations and processing documentation for displaced individuals.
