Gustavsvik Manor, Historical manor building ruins in Kristinehamn Municipality, Sweden.
Gustavsvik Manor is an estate with two restored wing buildings surrounded by an 18th-century park setting. The grounds include stone walls, garden pathways, a café, and a shop for visitors to browse.
The property was originally called Västervik before receiving its current name in 1772 following a royal visit by King Gustav III. The main building was later destroyed by fire, but the wing structures survived.
The name reflects a royal visit from the 18th century, and visitors can still see the original garden layout through its preserved paths and stone boundaries. These elements show how estates of that era were designed and maintained.
The park and buildings are easily walkable, with plenty of time to explore the pathways and grounds at a comfortable pace. The café and shop provide places to rest, and information signs throughout help explain the property's history.
The wing buildings were completely restored between 2016 and 2019, bringing them back to life after the main house was destroyed by fire in 1967. This restoration effort rescued significant structures that might have been lost to time.
