Partille herrgård

Partille herrgård is a three-story manor house standing on a hill overlooking the Säveån valley, built with Dutch clinker bricks and a tiled roof. The building displays the craftsmanship and elaborate construction of a large residential estate from the 1700s.

In 1773, David af Sandeberg acquired the property and commissioned his brother-in-law William Chambers and architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg to design the residence. The construction marked a period of prosperity for the region and the manor became the center of Partille.

The main hall displays original brass door knobs from the 1700s and features a Marieberg tiled oven with distinctive painted decoration. These handcrafted details show the artistic tastes of the family who lived there.

The manor sits about 200 meters from Partille church and is reachable from the E20 highway. Since 1922, it has been managed and maintained by Partille municipality.

The Dutch clinker bricks used in construction were transported by sailboat to Gothenburg and then carried up the Säveån river to the building site. This complex logistics shows how valuable and rare such high-quality materials were in that period.
