Sandemar Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Stockholm County, Sweden.
Sandemar Nature Reserve is a 390-hectare protected area with coastal meadows, shallow waters, and fens along the Stockholm archipelago near Sandemar Castle. The site combines multiple natural habitats within one landscape.
The area was designated as a protected nature reserve in 1997, safeguarding landscapes that have been part of a manorial estate for centuries. This long history is reflected in the natural structures and habitats that remain today.
The reserve protects traditional Swedish coastal meadow environments that shape the local landscape character. Walking through these spaces, visitors experience the natural settings that have defined this region for generations.
A bird watching tower near the water's edge offers good viewing points for observing wildlife. The reserve is accessible by commuter train to Handen station.
The eastern fen contains specialized plant species like early marsh orchid, fen orchid, marsh helleborine, and common butterwort. These plants thrive only in the specific wet conditions found here.
