Alby gård, Botkyrka Municipality

Alby gård, Botkyrka Municipality, Manor house in Botkyrka Municipality, Sweden

Alby gård is a former farmstead on the shores of Albysjön lake in Stockholm County. The property contains multiple buildings from different periods, surrounded by forests and walking paths in a quiet lakeside setting.

Alby gård is a manor with medieval roots, first documented in the 14th century and made a säteri in the 1660s under Jakob Grundel. The current main building was erected around 1800 and remodeled in 1809 for Nils Dufva, who likely added the columned portico. Lars Magnus Ericsson owned it from 1895 to 1913 and gave the house its present appearance, adding a lantern with a clock tower and chime.

The yellow villa east of the main building, called "Gulan", was built in 1902 for Ericsson's son Lars Magnus Jr. It shows National Romantic carpentry and ironwork, with two fountains and cast-iron lamp posts in the wall in front. A stone sculpture saved from the Makalös palace fire of 1825 is mounted above the cellar door.

The main building now houses outpatient care, so it is not open to visitors; the old barn complex belongs to Alby industrial area. Cirkus Cirkör has a permanent circus hall in some of the original buildings, and Subtopia runs cultural projects there. A marina was built on the Albysjön shore, and the Gula villan is used by local associations.

The estate's most unusual structure was "Albystadion", an aqueduct-like installation built under Lars Magnus Ericsson to transport manure; it has since been demolished. In 1912 his friend Gustaf Dalén lost his sight here in an acetylene gas explosion in a stone quarry intended for a new washhouse.
