Fridhem, Historic villa near Högklint, Gotland, Sweden.

Villa Fridhem stands on a steep slope overlooking the sea, featuring a large terrace and glass veranda in Swiss architectural style.

Built between 1860 and 1861 as a summer residence for Princess Eugenie, daughter of Oscar I, who selected this location to benefit from Gotland's mild climate.

The property includes several structures beyond the main building, including a boathouse, gatehouse, and stables that reflect 19th-century Swedish royal lifestyle.

The property now functions as a summer guesthouse and café called Fridhems Pensionat, offering accommodations to visitors in Gotland Municipality.

Princess Eugenie established two orphanages near the villa: Fridtorp for boys in 1866 and a subsequent facility for girls.

Location: Gotland Municipality

Architects: Adolf W. Edelsvärd
