Kevinge gård, Residential estate in Danderyd Municipality, Sweden
Kevinge gård is a manor house in Danderyd near Edsviken shore, built with stone walls that show late 18th-century Swedish design. The main residence stands on grounds that include older outbuildings and serves today as a private home.
Goldsmith Peter Eneroth leased the property from the Crown in 1791 and had the current buildings constructed following architectural plans. The land remained in private hands until the 20th century, when portions were developed for new uses.
The name Kevinge comes from Old Norse origins reflecting the area's geography. Visitors can still see the protected oak tree today, which connects to chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius, who spent summers here during the 1800s.
The main building is now a private residence and cannot be entered. The grounds can be viewed from nearby roads and public paths in the area.
Part of the estate was purchased by Stockholm Golf Club in 1931, who converted an old barn and stables into their clubhouse. This surprising blend of a historic manor and golf facility makes the site quite distinctive in the region.
