Hjulsta säteri, Manor estate in Enköping Municipality, Sweden.
Hjulsta säteri is a manor estate located ten kilometers south of Enköping in central Sweden. The property features a stone mansion with a two-story structure, a rounded central section and two porches, with economic buildings positioned to the west of the main residence.
The estate originated in 1385 and passed through several noble families including the Sparre family before being acquired by the crown. The current mansion was built in the mid-19th century, significantly shaping the property's appearance.
The main building was constructed between 1851 and 1853 for Baron Carl August Liljencrantz and displays architectural elements with decorated window reliefs. These details shape the estate's appearance today and reflect the importance its owners placed on the property.
A one-kilometer tree-lined avenue leads to the main building and shapes the arrival experience. Visitors should allow adequate travel time given the estate's location south of Enköping, as the approach itself is part of the visit.
Near the main house stands a 16th-century stone building known locally as 'gamla slottet' that once served as a storage facility. This older structure offers insight into the property's lengthy history that predates the current mansion.
