Skälby yard

The manor complex includes multiple buildings, a large garden area, ponds, and recreational spaces spread across the historical grounds of Kalmar.

Dating back to 1202, Skälby consisted of four farms that belonged to a monastery before becoming crown property under Gustav Vasa's rule.

The manor functions as a 4H farm where children and young people learn about animals, nature, and practical skills through hands-on experiences.

Visitors can access the main building daily from 9:00 to 15:00, while the on-site cafe operates with reduced hours during December and January.

Archaeological excavations in 1824 revealed remains of a Viking ship near the property, indicating its location along ancient maritime routes.
