Högfors slott, Manor house in Häggenås, Sweden
Högfors slott is a white plastered manor house with two stories located near the Hårkan river, featuring extended side wings and a mansard roof. The building now functions primarily as a venue for events and representation.
The manor was constructed between 1954 and 1956 under the direction of Consul General Bertil Örn, who owned the Högfors industrial facility on this site. Following the bankruptcy of Norwegian lawyer Jan Paulsen in 1987, the property changed ownership.
The dining room displays a notable tapestry collection, including 'Birth of Water' from the Paris Gobelins, alongside sculptures and paintings by Swedish artists. This collection shapes the character of the interior spaces and reflects an appreciation for art and cultural refinement.
The property is located near the Hårkan river and is primarily accessible as an event venue, typically requiring prior inquiry for visits. The best time to visit is during organized events or by requesting access in advance.
The manor served as a filming location for the British war film 'The Victors' in 1962, marking an entry in international cinema history. Few visitors are aware of this connection to film, adding a layer of cultural significance beyond its architectural role.
