Svalnäs, Former estate and villa area in Djursholm, Danderyd Municipality, Sweden

Svalnäs is a former estate in northern Djursholm, Danderyd Municipality. Its main building, designed by Fredrik Lilljekvist and completed in 1886, replaced an 1803 structure and stands a few hundred metres south of the old farm. The estate also included a barn for nearly 70 cows and two pairs of oxen, a stable, a carriage shed and housing for farm workers.

Svalnäs is first mentioned in a parchment letter dated 28 December 1312, when Johannes Gaseborg acquired it in an exchange with the abbess of St. Clara's Monastery in Stockholm. In 1883 Henrik Palme bought the estate and in 1885–1886 had architect Fredrik Lilljekvist design a new main building a few hundred metres south of the old, dilapidated farm. Palme lived there until his death in 1932.

The building shows how affluent families chose to live in Stockholm's suburbs and what architectural styles they preferred for their homes. It reflects the residential choices and tastes of that era in suburban areas near the capital.

Svalnäs is in northern Djursholm, Danderyd Municipality, at Svalnäs allé 4B. The area is served by Roslagsbanan from Stockholm Östra to Djursholms Ösby, then local buses or a walk. The main building is now Gästhem Svalnäs, run by Blomsterfonden as housing for older people, so visitors should stay on public paths and view it from outside.

The house stands in Danderyd, one of Sweden's smallest and most prosperous municipalities, where wealthy families chose to settle early on. This location made it a sought-after residential area with many historic homes from that era.
