Lindö gård, Manor house in Nyköping, Sweden.
Lindö gård is a manor house situated between Lake Eknaren and Lake Kappstasjön with architectural elements from the early 18th century. The property has preserved several buildings from different periods that show its role as an agricultural center across generations.
The estate was originally called Öija and belonged to Harald Stake, a governor and council member who played a political role in the turmoil of the 1600s. It changed hands several times before Mårten Lindhielm acquired it and gave it its current name.
The name comes from a Swedish nobleman, Mårten Lindhielm, who gave the estate its current name in the late 1600s. This naming practice shows how landed gentry of that time marked their properties and asserted their social standing.
The estate is located around 18 kilometers north of Nyköping and surrounded by rural landscape with lakes. Visitors should be prepared for varied terrain and changing weather conditions, as the grounds span a larger area.
A rune stone marked Sö 154 stands on the grounds, connecting the property to ancient Nordic history. This stone shows that the region was already settled and culturally important long before the manor was established.
