Ottenby kungsgård, Royal estate in Mörbylånga Municipality, Sweden

The white plastered stone mansion of Ottenby features a hipped roof and stands alongside two limestone wings from the late 1700s.

The estate transformed from a medieval village owned by Nydala monastery into a royal farmstead in 1544 under King Gustav Vasa's decree.

The architectural complex includes the main residence, service buildings, and a 4611-meter stone wall built in 1653 for royal deer hunting grounds.

The estate operates as a modern dairy farm with 500 cows, producing milk while maintaining its status as a governmental listed building complex.

A restored 19th-century grain storage facility on the grounds now functions as an exhibition space, with a silversmith workshop in former worker quarters.
