Svartå herrgård, Manor house in Degerfors Municipality, Sweden.
Svartå herrgård is a manor house with a central building and two additional structures positioned at the southern end of Lake Lill-Björken. The property sits within a landscaped park that contains native trees and regional plant species.
Built in 1782 during Sweden's Gustavian period, this manor was owned by Carl Falker, who served as hofmarschall at the Royal Court. The architectural style of that era shaped the neoclassical design that still defines the estate today.
The manor reflects Swedish architectural tastes from the late 1700s, showing how the nobility of that era preferred to live and build. The design of the grounds and structures reveals the values and aesthetic choices that mattered to wealthy families in this region.
Visitors can walk through the manor grounds and explore the park around it at a leisurely pace. The layout is open and accessible, allowing people to move freely between the buildings and natural surroundings.
The property entered a new chapter in 2021 when authors took ownership and brought a literary dimension to its long history. This modern connection adds an unexpected layer to what was once primarily a family estate.
