Reimers malmgård, 18th-century country house in Reimersholme, Stockholm, Sweden
Reimers malmgård is an 18th-century residence located on Reimersholme island, distinguished by its characteristic broken saddle roof covered with tiles. The building occupies a prominent position on the island's eastern side and demonstrates the craftsmanship of its construction period.
A hat maker named Anders Reimers purchased the property in 1784 and expanded it into a substantial estate, with the main building completed in 1794. A memorial stone from 1798 marks the formal naming ceremony of both the island and estate, documenting the land's transformation.
The building embodies the malmgård architectural tradition, a Swedish country house style linked to farming estates near urban areas. This design reflects how rural production and city-proximity created a unique form of prosperity.
The building now operates as a preschool facility serving different age groups. Visitors should note that the property is primarily used for educational purposes, so access may be limited.
A notable detail is a memorial stone from 1798 marking the land's transformation into a formally named place. This stone provides a rare written record of how a landscape changed during this era.
