Bäckebols gård

Bäckebols gård is a manor estate in Gothenburg Municipality comprising multiple connected buildings with traditional Swedish design. The complex features stone construction, pitched roofs, and a working layout of residential and service structures arranged around the main house.

The manor was founded in 1764 and designed by architect Anders Funkquist as part of regional estate development in southwestern Sweden. It emerged during a period when such houses became centers of economic power and social organization in the surrounding area.

The manor reflects the Swedish bruksherrgård tradition, where the owner's residence stood at the center of an industrial settlement during the 18th century. Walking through the grounds, you can sense how the layout organized life around the main house and its economic activities.

The estate is accessible by public transportation from central Gothenburg, with regular bus services near the property. Wear sturdy shoes for walking across the grounds, as paths between buildings may be unpaved or uneven.

The estate retains its original architectural details including stonework and roof structures from its founding period as a protected heritage site. These preserved elements offer glimpses of construction techniques and craftsmanship typical of 18th-century Swedish building practices.
