The Printzhof, Archaeological site and National Historic Landmark in Essington, Delaware County, United States
The stone foundations of The Printzhof reside within Governor Printz Park, marking the location of a significant 17th-century Swedish colonial settlement.
Johan Printz established this settlement in 1643 as the capital of New Sweden, constructing a log mansion that served as both residence and administrative center.
The site contains artifacts and structural remains that demonstrate the Swedish influence on early European settlements in North America.
Visitors can find The Printzhof at the intersection of Taylor Avenue and Second Street in Essington, near Pennsylvania routes 291 and 420.
The farmstead from New Jersey's former Swedish Farmstead Museum was relocated to this site and reconstructed between 2019 and 2022.
