Höjentorp, Architectural ensemble in Skara Municipality, Sweden
The Höjentorp complex contains castle ruins and a manor house situated approximately 200 meters apart within the Swedish countryside.
During the 1600s, Count Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie transformed the former hunting lodge into a wooden baroque palace with 30 staff members.
The site represents Swedish governmental architecture through different periods, from medieval times to the post-fire reconstruction in the 1700s.
The complex stands at coordinates 58.412778, 13.641667, near Drottningkullens Nature Reserve, making it suitable for combined architectural and nature visits.
Jonas Alströmer, known for introducing potatoes to Sweden, constructed the current manor building after the baroque palace burned down in 1722.
