Gullmarsbergs säteri, Manor house in Uddevalla Municipality, Sweden.
Gullmarsbergs säteri is a manor house in Uddevalla Municipality that sits on a hillside surrounded by beech forests, characterized by traditional red tiles and arched windows. The complex includes several buildings with period features that define its appearance.
The manor was founded in 1669 by Governor General Rutger von Ascheberg and later restored between 1947 and 1949. The restoration work aimed to recreate the appearance of the 17th century.
The estate displays the regional architectural language of Bohuslän through its timber construction and spacious brick-vaulted cellars. The Caroline period design shapes how the place looks and feels today.
The site forms part of a nature reserve spanning 37 hectares, allowing visitors to explore the surrounding landscape. Be aware of preservation guidelines that protect the natural setting during your visit.
A red-painted worker's wing from the 1600s keeps its original exterior appearance, showing how construction was done during that era. This old building method remains a quiet reminder of period techniques.
