Tofta herrgård

Tofta herrgård, Manor house in Södra Bohuslän, Sweden.

Tofta herrgård is a manor house in Södra Bohuslän with a main building, wings, gardens, and tree-lined avenues situated between Kungälv and Marstrand. The property functions as a hotel with 18 rooms in two separate buildings called Smedjan and Verkstan, and it also has conference facilities.

Tofta herrgård dates from the 15th century, when the estate served as part of the lagman's remuneration in Bohuslän: Laurens Clausen lived there in 1492, Mats Nilson in 1543 and Claus Jensen in 1580. In the 17th century it became a rusthållshemman for Bohuslän's dragoon regiment. In the second half of the 18th century the main building was rebuilt in Carolinian style, the wings were added and a geometric French-style garden was laid out. The 19th century brought a four-storey windmill, a brännvinsbränneri and 64 tunnland of land reclaimed from the sea; in the early 20th century Eric Adolf Hallin bought the estate and furnished it in Carl Larsson style. It has been a listed building since 23 January 1984.

The manor hosts a summer theatre founded in 2010 by Susanna Helldén and Göran Parkrud, performing in the old grain store; its first production was Strindberg's Fröken Julie in 2010, followed by Fadren in 2011. In December the estate holds a Christmas market and Christmas buffet. The surrounding Tofta nature reserve has walking paths.

The property sits between Kungälv and Marstrand, roughly 35 minutes north of Gothenburg by car. You can stay in the historic buildings or modern structures, and the venue also works for conferences and gatherings.

Two outdoor hot tubs and a 15-person sauna designed by architect Karin Wingårdh were added in 2022. These modern facilities create an interesting contrast with the historical surroundings.
