Svartå herrgård

Svartå herrgård, Manor house in Degerfors Municipality, Sweden

Svartå herrgård is a two-storey stone manor built in the Gustavian style, with two wings in rendered wood, at the southern tip of Lake Lill-Björken. Its ground floor holds five enfilade salons, including the dining hall, the Small Dining Room and the Baroness's Flower Room. The English landscape park has winding paths, an ornamental pond and an oak-lined avenue.

The manor was built between 1775 and 1782 for Carl Falker, hofmarschall at the Swedish Royal Court, on the estate of Svartå Bruk ironworks founded by Jöns Eriksson Grubb. After Falker's death in 1795 it passed to his daughter Christina, married Baroness Fock, and stayed with the Fock family. The estate was later owned by the Falker, Stjerneld, Tersmeden and Fock families, and the manor was restored in 1950.

The manor's name comes from the adjacent Svartå stream, and the estate long belonged to Svartå Bruk ironworks, whose owner lived here. Author Christina Erikson, who acquired the manor in 2021 with Thomas Erikson, set her Svartåsviten book series here, centring on the women who ran the estate from the 1700s onward.

The manor stands at the southern tip of Lake Lill-Björken, with the English-style park, ornamental pond and oak-lined avenue around the main building. The estate lies near Svartå in Degerfors Municipality, in Nysunds parish. The grounds are open for walking, and the layout lets visitors move between the buildings and the lakeside park.

The manor's 45 rooms include five enfilade salons; the dining room is the grand state room, and the 1950 restoration uncovered original wall decorations that had been covered over. The salons also include the Small Dining Room and the Baroness's Flower Room.
