Silvåkra gård, Manor house in Lund municipality, Sweden.
Silvåkra gård is a manor house in the countryside near Lund featuring two distinct architectural sections that reflect early 19th-century Swedish design principles. The structure displays the balanced proportions and careful details typical of estates built during this period.
The manor was built between 1803 and 1807 for Baroness Sofia Ramel and remained under noble ownership for several generations. A major change occurred in 1904 when the estate was subdivided and portions were later allocated for military use.
The manor represents early 19th-century Swedish architectural traditions and served as home to several notable aristocratic families including the De la Gardie lineage.
The property sits in a rural area with open fields surrounding the buildings, making it straightforward to explore. The location is accessible from nearby towns using local transport, and visitors can walk the grounds at their own pace.
Seven children were raised at the manor by Count Robert De la Gardie and his wife before they relocated to another castle in 1867. This reflects how such estates served as family homes of considerable status, yet could be left behind when circumstances changed.
