Sandemar Castle, Manor house in Österhaninge, Sweden
Sandemar is a manor house in Österhaninge featuring a symmetrical design with two wings, a central tower, and formal gardens laid out according to French baroque principles. The grounds form a cohesive composition with carefully structured exterior spaces and manicured garden areas.
The manor was built between 1670 and 1693 by Count Gabriel Falkenberg, representing the late baroque era in Sweden. Its construction coincided with a period when such grand residences served as symbols of power and status.
The interior displays an extensive collection of baroque furniture, Marieberg tile stoves, and walls covered with gilded leather wallpaper from the 17th century. This decoration reflects the wealth and sophistication visible to those who can view the private rooms.
The property sits approximately 25 kilometers southeast of Stockholm and remains a private residence closed to public visits. Its location adjacent to a nature reserve makes the surrounding area of interest to those exploring the region.
The building maintains its exact appearance as documented in Erik Dahlbergh's 1690s work 'Suecia antiqua et hodierna'. This visual continuity allows visitors to see the structure through a historical lens spanning centuries.
