Stora Torp, Manor house in Örgryte, Sweden

The stone manor house spans 9,600 square meters of land with 3,200 square meters dedicated to residential and office areas north of Delsjö nature reserve.

Between 1550 and 1777, the estate was known as Torpit under Sten Eriksson Leijonhufvud's Kärra estate before changing ownership to field marshal Herman Wrangel.

The neo-Renaissance architecture of Stora Torp, completed in the 1870s by architect Axel Kumlien, represents the period's affluent residential design preferences.

The property underwent extensive renovations in 1941 after Gothenburg city acquired it from David Carnegie & Co for 875,000 kronor.

An observation tower called Blå Tornet was constructed on Korpberget during the late 1800s to provide elevated views of the surrounding landscapes.
