Königlicher Gutshof Sköldnora, Royal estate in Upplands Väsby Municipality, Sweden

The Sköldnora Manor stands on the eastern shore of Lake Norrviken, featuring a central risalit and exposed basement at the rear of the structure.

First documented in 1276, the estate belonged to Saint Birgitta of Sweden before being transferred to Vadstena Abbey and later seized by Gustav Wasa in 1527.

The interior decorations of the 1741 Rococo mansion display the works of notable Swedish artists Johan Pasch and Charles Cousin.

The manor received heritage protection status as a Byggnadsminne in 1982, ensuring the preservation of both the main building and two outbuildings.

The nearby mill provided inspiration for one of Sweden's first detective stories, written by Carl Jonas Love Almquist.
