Backåkra

Backåkra is a white farmhouse with traditional Swedish architecture standing on a large estate overlooking the Baltic Sea. The house now functions as a museum displaying personal belongings, art collections, and diplomatic gifts.

The property was acquired in 1957 and underwent restoration over the following years until a significant turning point occurred in 1961. After this event, it became open to the public and transformed from a private residence into a place of broader importance.

The property reflects the connection between Swedish countryside tradition and international diplomacy. Visitors can see how the rural setting served as a retreat for moments of reflection away from public life.

The property covers a large estate with various areas to explore, so visitors should plan for a leisurely walk. Sturdy shoes are recommended, especially when exploring the pathways and surrounding landscape.

A meditation circle on the grounds offers a space for quiet moments, reflecting the former owner's personal philosophy. This retreat space was designed to encourage inner reflection and remains open to visitors.
