Aske Manor

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.

The manor was built in 1802 by ironmaster Gustav Sehmann, replacing an earlier structure from medieval times that belonged to the De la Gardie family. Over the centuries it changed hands multiple times and was later converted into a conference center.

The manor displays Italian Renaissance elements that Finnish architect Charles Bassi skillfully blended with Swedish design traditions. The white facades and symmetrical forms reflect a cultural exchange between Southern Europe and the Nordic region.

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.

The manor is the only Swedish work by Italian-born Finnish architect Charles Bassi. This makes it a rare example of Nordic architecture with Southern European roots.
