Ludvika herrgård

Ludvika herrgård is a wooden manor house in Ludvika Municipality featuring a main building with a large attic floor beneath a broken hipped roof and two side wings along the Ludvika stream. The structure combines classical Swedish design with functional elements suited to its role as a center of economic activity.

Jonas Cedercreutz acquired the Ludvika ironworks from the crown in 1726 and developed it into one of Sweden's largest iron production facilities. This manor house became the center of this important industrial operation.

The manor aligns with Ludvika Ulrica Church across the stream, showing how these buildings were connected in the community's development. Both structures represent the important institutions that shaped the area.

The manor house sits beside the Ludvika stream and connects with surrounding historical structures, making it easy to orient yourself during a visit. The property is privately owned and used for corporate events, so check ahead about access before going.

The facades display contrasting architectural details: the northern entrance features a two-story central projection, while the southern side shows a wider central section topped with a volute gable. This asymmetrical design is uncommon in Swedish manor house architecture.
