Karlslunds herrgård

Karlslunds herrgård, Manor house and working life museum in Örebro, Sweden.

Karlslunds herrgård is a manor house and working life museum in Örebro Municipality featuring Empire-style architecture and surrounded by gardens. Multiple buildings on the estate, including a former power station and an old mill, document how the property developed from a residence into an industrial and cultural center.

Karlslund was established in the 16th century by Duke Karl, later Karl IX, as a royal farm supplying Örebro Castle with food and firewood; the estate takes its name from him. In 1759 it was bought by cavalry captain Gustaf Ernst Günther, and his son, lieutenant Christian Günther, had the main building erected in 1801 to designs by Johan Gustaf Forsgren. In 1819 colonel Count Carl Henrik Anckarsvärd had architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell the Younger remodel the exterior in Empire style. From 1871 to 1875 the estate was rented by the Zander sisters for their girls' boarding school, and in 1874 it was sold to Malmö merchant Johan Henrik Dieden.

The name comes from Duke Karl, later Karl IX, who established Karlslund in the 16th century. Between 1871 and 1875 the estate was rented by the Zander sisters, who ran the Zanderska flickpensionen, a boarding school for girls. About 80 buildings belong to the manor, and at its peak the estate employed around a hundred people.

Karlslund lies in Örebro Municipality, in the Karlslund cultural reserve; before 1937 the estate belonged to Längbro landskommun. Örebro Municipality has owned the manor, its buildings and land since 1966, and about 80 buildings stand on the grounds. The estate is a working life museum, so several buildings serve as exhibitions, museums, artists' workshops and shops, with dining, conference facilities and a summer café on site.

Karlslund was founded in the 16th century by Duke Karl, later Karl IX, as a kungsladugård supplying Örebro Castle with food and firewood; the estate takes its name from him. At its peak the farm employed around a hundred people, and some 80 buildings still belong to it.
