Triewalds malmgård, Historical mansion on Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden
Triewalds malmgård is a mansion on Kungsholmen built with architectural elements from the 1650s, featuring multiple connected wings arranged around a central courtyard. The building sits near Mariebergsfjärden and displays the characteristic design of its era.
The estate was owned in 1648 by mayor Johan Westerman, and in 1663 it passed to councilor Bengt Skytte, whose daughter Maria gave the area the name Marieberg. In 1739 inventor Mårten Triewald bought the property for 10,500 daler kopparmynt and called it Elisabethsberg after his wife; it kept his name after his death in 1747. From 1758 it housed the Marieberg porcelain factory, and between 1818 and 1958 the military used the site.
The name Marieberg, first recorded in 1715, may come from Maria, daughter of Bengt Skytte, or from Anna Maria Soop. Mårten Triewald called the estate Elisabethsberg after his wife, yet his own name stuck. In the 1760s the property housed the Marieberg porcelain factory, whose stove-tile plates were known as "Mariebergare".
The grounds sit next to Smedsuddsbadet and benefit from direct access to public transportation, making it easy to reach. The location allows for simple exploration of the surrounding area around Mariebergsfjärden.
The military held the estate from 1818 to 1958, and when it left, a tree had grown up through the floor of the worn manor. The sea scout corps S:t Göran and its parents' association then restored the building over thousands of leisure hours.
