Säbylund Manor, Manor house in Kumla Municipality, Sweden
Säbylund Manor is a manor house in Kumla with 26 rooms furnished in the style of 1787, featuring gilded beds, console tables, and art collections throughout. The property continues to operate as a private residence and working farm managing the surrounding estate lands.
The manor was founded in 1787 by siblings Hedvig Margareta and Claes de Frietzcky, who commissioned craftsmen to create refined Gustavian interiors. A white stucco medallion added in 1799 portrays one of the early residents, marking the estate's ongoing development during this period.

The manor is located about two hours west of Stockholm and is accessible for day trips from the capital. Plan enough time to walk through the rooms and explore the gardens surrounding the property at a comfortable pace.
The library holds an original collection of books from the 1700s that survives from the early residents' time. This rare preservation of a private library collection shows what subjects and ideas mattered to the family who lived here.
