Björkborn Manor

Björkborn Manor is a white manor house built in the early 1810s that displays exhibitions about Nobel's life, his experiments, and the establishment of the Nobel Prize. The building contains his private study, a well-stocked library, and rooms that document his daily activities and scientific pursuits.

The property began as an ironworks established in 1639 by Mårten Drost and operated for over 250 years in industrial production. Nobel acquired it in 1894 and made it his final Swedish residence until his death two years later.

The manor preserves Nobel's personal library and displays his scientific interests through exhibits that reflect how he spent his days between work and reading. Visitors can observe the spaces where he developed his ideas and conducted research.

The grounds are easy to explore on foot and walkways are well-maintained and clearly marked throughout. The renovated stable building serves as the main reception area and provides clear orientation for visitors.

The laboratory building where Nobel conducted experiments with explosives and synthetic rubber still stands on the property and functions as an exhibition space. Visitors can see the actual tools and equipment he used in his research work.
