Sjuvillorna

The Sjuvillorna ensemble features six preserved residential buildings along Ringvägen street, each displaying intricate wooden decorations and complex roof structures.

Built in 1897 under architect Erik Lundroth's direction, the buildings were commissioned by director Reinhold Hörnell to attract wealthy families from Stockholm.

The residences exemplify the late 19th-century Swedish architectural preferences, combining multiple styles with detailed woodwork and elaborate window arrangements.

Two of the original seven villas, numbers 2 and 3, received protected status in 1979 and remain privately owned.

Each villa maintains its original interior layout with numerous carpentry details, though the observation towers on villas 4 and 6 no longer exist.
