Brevik, Manor house in Värmdö Municipality, Sweden

Brevik is a manor house situated on the shores of Breviken bay in Värmdö, extending across a large estate with forests, agricultural land, and several buildings. The property displays Swedish wooden architecture from different periods and is surrounded by natural landscapes.

The estate was first documented in 1543 and acquired by statesman Axel Oxenstierna in 1630, who passed it to his family for generations. In the 20th century it belonged to Stockholm until a financier purchased it in 1988.

The name Brevik comes from the adjacent bay, Breviken. The manor is privately owned by the Wallenberg family and is not open to the public, so the cultural life of the estate is not accessible to visitors. The surrounding landscape is inner-archipelago terrain with narrow winding valleys between rocky outcrops.

The estate covers 735 hectares, of which 100 are farmland and 370 forest, so plan for long walks between the manor, Mor and the wetland Morträsket near Fagerdala. The terrain is inner-archipelago: narrow winding valleys between rocky knolls, with lakes and marshy ground, so waterproof footwear helps. Brevik lies on Värmdölandet in Värmdö Municipality, Stockholm County.

Author August Strindberg lived here for eighteen months and left his literary mark on the place during his stay. This period was a formative time in his life and has become part of this location's story.
