Sätra gård, building in Stockholm Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden
Sätra gård is an old manor estate in Stockholm with red wooden buildings from the 1700s, consisting of a main house and a side wing with tiled roofs. The well-maintained property sits within green spaces and shows the architecture of earlier farming with simple, sturdy structures.
The estate is first mentioned in records from 1331 and was originally part of a larger area called Årsta. In 1619, a nobleman named Lars Skytte established it as a manor farm, and it later received its red wooden buildings during the 1700s.
The name Sätra gård comes from the old designation of this estate, documented in records since the 1300s. Today, visitors can see how the simple red wooden houses and the maintained yard reflect the rural way of life that once defined this region.
The estate is freely accessible and sits within green spaces in southern Stockholm, allowing a quiet walk through the historic buildings and yards. The flat ground and marked paths make a visit straightforward and comfortable for visitors of all mobility levels.
On the site of the present estate once stood a watermill called Sätra Varv, powered by the Sätraån stream to grind grain. Although the mill building no longer stands, the foundation and stone base are still visible, bearing witness to this artisanal past.
