Lilla Sickla, Manor house in Björkhagen, Sweden

Lilla Sickla is a manor house estate located near Sicklasjön lake with the main building, a water mill, and other structures spread across the grounds. The property is set within a designed landscape that blends gardens with open spaces and natural areas.

The manor house was built in 1789 as a simpler structure. When Lars Constans Pontin acquired it in 1852, he had it redesigned with Victorian-style additions that reflected the tastes of his time.

The English park north of the farm was laid out in the late 18th century; its octagonal gazebo by Sicklasjön dates from the second half of that century. About 200 metres east of the main building stands the empty stone sarcophagus called the Philosopher's Grave, inscribed "Hvilans Boning Den Dödliges Hopp Och Mödors Belöning". In 1868 Lars Constans Pontin buried his mother Catharina Charlotta there, and in 1877 his sister Carolina Henrika Matilda; a 1945 excavation found a third, unidentified coffin.

The property is connected to hiking trails that reach other nearby lakes like Dammtorpsjön and Söderbysjön. Benches and grilling spots are available for visitors who want to stop and rest during their visit.

About 200 metres east of the main building stands a stone sarcophagus called the Philosopher's Grave, an empty ornamental grave of a type common in English parks and linked by name to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Its slab reads "Hvilans Boning Den Dödliges Hopp Och Mödors Belöning". Lars Constans Pontin buried his mother Catharina Charlotta there in 1868 and his sister Carolina Henrika Matilda in 1877; a 1945 investigation found a third coffin holding the bones of an unidentified young person.
