Elfviks gård

Elfviks gård, Manor house in Lidingö Municipality, Sweden

Elfviks Gård is a manor house on a scenic peninsula in Lidingö Municipality, situated across farmland with forests, meadows, and waterfront areas. The estate includes traditional farm buildings, gardens, a formal landscape with a pavilion, and low boxwood hedges overlooking the sea.

Elfviks gård's history spans more than 700 years; a large farm existed here by the mid-14th century, and the first documented owner was Magnus Thyrgilsson, a canon in Uppsala. The Banér family of Djursholm held the Lidingö farms until 1774, when Johan Gabriel Banér d.y. was forced to sell them. Court gilding master Peter Widman bought Elfvik that year and had the single-storey stone manor built, completed in 1775, the year on the iron anchors on the courtyard side.

The name Elfvik is of uncertain origin: a 1661 map spells it Älwÿk, possibly from al (alder), while a 1774 copy gives Elgvik, from elk. In 1781 surveyor Israel Ström recorded Elfwik. Lidingö stad later respelled the farm Älvik, but the inn in the manor house kept Elfvik.

The grounds around the farm, the courtyard and the park down toward Hustegafjärden are open to the public. The nine-kilometre Elfviksleden hiking trail passes through the estate. The manor building itself is leased as an inn and conference venue, so visits there depend on its opening.

The manor house is rented out as an inn with conference facilities, while the surrounding farm of about 125 hectares of pasture and cultivated land has been run by a tenant since 2010. The Stockholm County Museum judged the farm environment and buildings indispensable after an evaluation in 1993–1994.
