Sparreholm Castle, Manor house in Flen Municipality, Sweden.
Sparreholm is a manor house in Flen Municipality situated along Lake Båven and surrounded by oak forests with a structure designed in late 19th-century Swedish style. The main building accommodates museum exhibitions, guest rooms, and event spaces while preserving the original architectural character of that era.
The site began with an estate founded by Göran Sparre in the 17th century before the current manor was built in the 1890s following architect Johan August Westerberg's designs. This reconstruction transformed the property into its present form.
The estate houses three specialized museums displaying vintage cars, jukeboxes, and bicycles that visitors can explore today. These collections tell stories of how people traveled and entertained themselves over the decades.
The property is best explored by visiting the museum exhibitions, staying in the available guest rooms, and taking in the views from the on-site café. The landscaped grounds surrounding the lake make for a pleasant walk at any time of day.
The automobile collection contains around 65 vehicles including a rare 1930s model once owned by Swedish royalty. This particular car draws visitors interested in automotive history and luxury vehicles.
