Brevik, Manor house in Värmdö Municipality, Sweden

The manor house stands on the shores of Breviken bay, featuring wooden structures and traditional Swedish architectural elements from different periods.

The property, first documented in 1543, was purchased by statesman Axel Oxenstierna in 1630 and remained in his family until 1683.

Author August Strindberg resided at Brevik for eighteen months between 1890 and 1891, contributing to the manor's literary significance.

The estate encompasses 735 hectares, including 100 hectares of agricultural land and 370 hectares of forest area.

After belonging to Stockholm city until 1988, the manor was acquired by financier Peter Wallenberg and later inherited by his son Jacob.
