Granhammar Castle

Granhammar is a manor house in Sweden featuring a three-story main building with white exterior walls and architectural details from the mid-18th century. The property includes a guest apartment building and formal gardens laid out in geometric patterns typical of that period.

Construction started in 1748 under architects Carl Hårleman and Gustaf Pfeffer, continuing until 1804. The project created both the main residence and guest quarters over this extended building period.

For generations, noble families shaped this property and its grounds according to their social standing and tastes. The formal layout of gardens and tree-lined paths still reflects the lifestyle of past inhabitants.

The site functions as part of a military garrison and is not freely accessible to the public. Visitors need to arrange in advance and follow security protocols to explore the grounds.

Between 1777 and 1819, Baron Albrekt von Lantingshausen and his wife Jeanna redesigned the gardens on the property. Their improvements to the landscape remain visible to visitors today.
