Villa Lyran

Villa Lyran is a summer villa with Swiss chalet-style architecture in Bredäng, distinguished by its distinctive tower roof that can be raised and lowered. The building features large windows and views overlooking Lake Mälaren.

Built in 1867 for Carl and Fredrika Limnell, the villa reflects the summer retreat style favored by wealthy Stockholm residents in the late 1800s. It represents a distinctive residential tradition among the city's affluent families.

The property received the highest municipal protection status from Stockholm City Museum for its exceptional historical value and architectural preservation.

Since 1996 the villa has operated as a private bakery and confectionery at Ålgrytevägen 90 in Bredäng. Visitors can access the location during business hours when purchasing baked goods and sweets.

Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen mentioned staying at the property in his poem 'Ballonbrev til en svensk dame'. This connection to the prominent Scandinavian writer adds a layer of literary history to the location.
