Lidingsberg

Lidingsberg is an estate comprising a mansion and outbuildings spread across six hectares of private land in Lidingö, situated below the Baggeby residential area and next to Lilla Värtan waterfront. The grounds include manicured areas and trees that slope down toward the water's edge.

The original mansion was built in 1775 by customs officer Petter Eriksson-Svedberg, who purchased several properties on Lidingö from the Banér family. The estate grew over time with added structures, particularly the theater built in the 1840s that enlarged its cultural role.

The northern wing contains a theater from 1840 with original furnishings and mid-1800s arrangements that reflect how wealthy families entertained guests with private performances. You can see the original stage setup and seating, which shows what leisure looked like for the estate's owners.

The property remains private and access beyond the entrance gate typically requires permission from the owners. It is best to inquire in advance about possible visits, as casual walking through the grounds is not generally permitted.

A gazebo built in 1850 perches on a high cliff overlooking the water and serves as a navigation landmark for vessels passing through Lilla Värtan. This dual purpose as both a family retreat and maritime reference point reflects the owners' clever use of the property's location.
