Bergshammars slott, Manor house in Strängnäs Municipality, Sweden.
Bergshammars slott is a manor house in Strängnäs featuring a three-story stone structure with four separate wings. The building sits at the end of a 1.5-kilometer tree-lined avenue.
The manor dates back to the 1300s and was rebuilt between 1720 and 1727 under architect Joseph Gabriel Destain. This transformation gave it the baroque style visible today.
The grand hall features blue-and-white Dutch tiles showing landscapes, and you can see a decorated tile stove from the 1760s. These decorative elements reflect the wealth and artistic taste of the people who lived here.
The property operates as an agricultural estate and includes a public golf course available for visitors. It helps to check ahead which areas are open for sightseeing.
The manor's original large private library was dispersed, with parts now held at Skansen in Stockholm and the National Music Library. This spread across institutions shows how valuable the collection was considered.
