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.
