Hofsta

Hofsta is a manor house standing on the northwestern shore of Lake Yngaren with architectural elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries. The west wing's ground floor dates from the 15th century while the main building received its present design in 1746.

The manor developed over several centuries beginning with the west wing in the 15th century before undergoing major redesign in the 18th century. The 1746 remodeling shaped its present appearance and established the main building's current form.

The manor passed through generations of prominent Swedish noble families including Ulfsparre, von Berchner, von Meijerhelm, and Mörner who shaped its character as an important residence. These families left their mark on how the property developed and was used over time.

The property sits in the Södermanland region and can be reached using coordinates 58°53'24"N and 16°29'24"E for navigation. Visitors should expect a rural lakeside setting and plan accordingly for their visit.

The manor served as a filming location in 2011 for David Fincher's international film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Scenes shot at the lakeside and buildings became part of this well-known crime thriller adaptation.
