Malmvik, Manor house in Ekerö Municipality, Sweden
Malmvik is a säteri and manor on Lindö in Ekerö Municipality, surrounded by Lake Mälaren's Malmvikssjön to the north and Tappström and Fiskarfjärden to the south. The current main building was erected in the early 18th century by Mårten Törnehielm, rebuilt in Dutch Renaissance style in the 1880s–1890s, and reshaped in 1963 by architect Ragnar Hjorth. The estate covers six hectares with 35 buildings, including a large faluröd barn and mill built in 1937 by Alfa Laval.
The original wooden main building was constructed in 1633 by Erik von der Linde and later expanded by his son Lorentz. The estate grew over the centuries into an important property with ties to notable families like the Wallenbergs.
The Wallenberg family left a lasting mark on this place: a mausoleum built in 1912 south of Ekerövägen holds the remains of notable family members including André Oscar Wallenberg. This burial site shows how important the family was to the region.
The estate lies on Lindö in Ekerö Municipality, bordered by Malmvikssjön to the north and Tappström and Fiskarfjärden to the south. The grounds are marked by a white painted ring with an N above it on trees along the boundary. The large faluröd barn by Ekerövägen, built in 1937, now houses Ekerö möbler, which opened in 1985.
The two lindens Erik Larsson planted in 1618 gave both the estate and the island their name: when he was ennobled in 1631 he took the surname von der Linde after Lindö and the trees. One of the lindens stood until a November storm felled it in 1999.
