Myrö

Myrö is a manor house on the northern shore of Lake Hjälmaren near Örebro that functions today as a residential community with vacation homes. The main building and more than 40 plots along the shoreline form a connected living complex.

The manor was designed and built in 1774 by architect Carl Johan Cronstedt after a castle fire destroyed the earlier site in 1707. The current character of the place stems from this rebuilding and its Rococo design.

The manor displays Swedish Rococo architecture blended with national romantic design elements. Visitors can see how these styles mix together in the building's rooms and decoration.

The estate sits six kilometers northeast of central Örebro and is reached via exit 116 on the E18/E20 highway. Visitors should expect pathways to the lake and along the shoreline, especially when exploring the vacation home community.

The estate operates a breeding program for Hereford and Angus cattle and produces handmade candles using traditional dipping methods. These products are sold to churches and private customers, representing a rare example of agricultural craft tradition.
