Hildasholm

Hildasholm stands near Lake Siljan with extensive gardens, featuring multiple garden rooms and architectural elements from the Arts and Crafts movement.

The residence, completed in 1911, belonged to physician Axel Munthe and his English wife Hilda Pennington-Mellor, who spent summers there with their two sons.

The interior decoration reflects early 20th-century tastes, with rooms containing furnishings that demonstrate the lifestyle of an upper-class Swedish-English family.

Guided tours operate daily at 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, and 14:00, while the gardens remain accessible for self-guided exploration during opening hours.

The property includes specialized gardens designed by Hilda herself, including a kitchen garden and a medicinal garden that reflect her personal interests.
