Bisslinge herrgård, Manor house in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Sweden.
Bisslinge herrgård is a manor house in Upplands Väsby Municipality situated near Lake Edssjön. The main building displays Swedish architectural style from the early modern period, with several outbuildings that complete the estate layout.
The property belonged to Klara Monastery during the medieval period before passing to different owners. In the 1600s it came under the control of Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna, marking a significant shift in its ownership history.
During the 1770s, the manor hosted gatherings for writers and artists who visited regularly. Such meetings reflected the cultural role the property played in Swedish intellectual circles of that era.
The manor remains private property and is not open for visits inside. The buildings and grounds can be partially viewed from nearby public paths and from the shores of Lake Edssjön.
A runestone fragment was found in the cellar of the main building, suggesting it was reused as building material. This discovery hints at an earlier history at the site before the manor was established.
