Sävargården, Historic building in Gammlia, Umeå, Sweden
Sävargården is a wooden building in Gammlia, Umeå, featuring late Gustavian architectural design with horizontal logs and two large open fireplaces on its main floor. The banquet hall has capacity for over 100 seated guests.
The building was constructed in 1806 as a manor house at Sävar ironworks and relocated to its current location in Gammlia in 1921. This move preserved the historic structure for future generations.
The Gustavian Hall contains floor-to-ceiling mirrors and frames crafted by artist Louis Masreliez, which showcase Swedish decorative art from the 18th century. These interior elements reflect the artistic tastes of that era.
The cellar space is accessible and offers an interesting starting point for exploring the building. Its location within Gammlia makes it convenient to visit other attractions in the area during the same visit.
The cellar is named Kamenski after a Russian general who prevented Umeå from being set on fire in 1809. This historical connection shows how local events were commemorated in the building's interior design.
