Aske Manor, Manor house in Upplands-Bro Municipality, Sweden.
Aske Manor is a neoclassical manor house near Stockholm with a white facade and symmetrical design. The building features multiple wings, halls, and spacious rooms that reflect its role as a grand country residence from the early 19th century.
Aske is documented from 1274, when Bengt Matsson of Ask granted land to Skokloster; in 1276 Rörik Matsson bequeathed estates to Uppsala Cathedral. In the mid-17th century the crown estate was granted to Jakob De la Gardie. Isak Gustaf Sehman bought it in 1799 and had the present building erected 1802–1809 to designs by Charles Bassi. Sold in 1872 to Count Carl-Gustaf Lewenhaupt, it passed to Fosfatbolaget in 1948 and later to Stockholm city, Byggnadsstyrelsen, Vasakronan and Arbetsmarknadsstyrelsen.
The estate's name is recorded in a letter dated at Ask in 1274, when Bengt Matsson gave land to Skokloster; his probable brother Rörik Matsson left goods in Skällnora to Uppsala Cathedral in 1276. The present house, a stone Italian villa in Neoclassical style, was built 1802–1809 for Isak Gustaf Sehman to drawings by Charles Bassi. Since 2008 Lennart Holm has run it as a conference venue with a restaurant.
The manor is located near Arlanda Airport and functions today as a conference center with multiple meeting and accommodation options. Its location makes it easily accessible from Stockholm for both visitors and events.
