Erikssund, Manor house in Sigtuna Municipality, Sweden.
Erikssund is an estate complex in Sigtuna Municipality on the northern shore of Lake Mälaren, consisting of a white manor house with regular window patterns and multiple supporting buildings. The property includes stables, worker cottages, and service structures that define the traditional appearance of a Swedish country estate.
The site originated as agricultural land in the 13th century when farming communities occupied the area. By the 18th century, architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell oversaw significant improvements that transformed it into a refined residential complex.
The name comes from the Eriksson family who established roots here over centuries. Visitors can see how the main house and working farm operated as interconnected parts of daily life.
The property is accessible from the surrounding landscape and now houses a hotel, golf course, and marina for visitors. Bear in mind that portions remain private working areas, so some buildings and grounds may have restricted access during certain times.
The interior rooms hold collections of Gustavian-style furniture and rococo decorations that reveal how the Swedish upper classes of the 18th century furnished their homes. This preserved arrangement offers a rare window into the domestic preferences and taste of the period.
