Dragongården, Historic farm building in Björlanda, Sweden
Dragongården is a building complex near Gothenburg featuring converted stables and lofts that now serve as apartments and restaurant spaces. The rooms retain the original agricultural layout in their structure and walls while serving modern purposes today.
The estate was founded in the 17th century, but the current buildings date to 1978 when they replaced earlier farm structures on the same land. This rebuilding marked the shift from pure agricultural use to mixed residential and commercial purposes.
The property blends its original purpose as an equestrian farm with modern living spaces, creating a place where rural tradition coexists with contemporary use. This character is visible in how the buildings are arranged and how people move through the spaces today.
The location sits about 15 minutes from Gothenburg center and is easy to reach for visitors wanting to explore the converted spaces. The different areas are arranged compactly, so you can walk through the entire complex without difficulty.
The wall structures and room layouts still come from the original farm design and were deliberately preserved during the modern conversions. This detail allows visitors walking through the spaces to sense the former agricultural function of each area.
