Stafsund, Manor house in Ekerö Municipality, Sweden.
Stafsund is a three-floor manor house in Ekerö Municipality built with traditional Swedish architecture and ornamental details throughout. The building contains multiple reception rooms and bedrooms, set within grounds that include outbuildings and landscaped areas.
The estate originated in the 13th century but underwent major reconstruction in the early 19th century under architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell. This rebuilding created the manor's current structure and appearance.
The manor reflects how Swedish noble families lived, with elegant rooms designed for gatherings and formal occasions. The furnishings show how wealthy residents used their homes during the 19th century.
The grounds offer accommodation in six bedrooms and include a golf course, hotel facilities, and a marina. Visitors should plan time to explore the extensive outdoor areas and various buildings on the property.
The current owners discovered original paint colors hidden beneath multiple layers and restored them to recreate the authentic 19th-century appearance. This careful work brought back the manor's genuine color scheme from its earlier period.
