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 garden from the 18th century shows how wealthy owners shaped their land during that era. Today, visitors can walk through these planted areas and see how the family expressed their tastes through garden design.
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.
A stone grave marker on the grounds carries an inscription and is known as the Philosopher's Grave, marking a burial site from 1824. This simple monument sits quietly among the gardens and remains one of the most distinctive features visitors encounter.
