Värnanäs herrgård, Manor house in Kalmar Municipality, Sweden

The estate features a central building constructed between 1789 and 1791, with an English-style park surrounding the property.

First documented in 1495 under the name Varnenes, the estate belonged to King Gustav Vasa and served as a royal residence in 1541.

The manor represents Swedish architectural traditions of the late 18th century, designed by military officer Carl Mannerskantz.

Located near the water, the property includes multiple economic buildings and remains a testament to Swedish rural architecture.

The estate housed a shipyard that constructed the clipper Octavia, which sailed from Kalmar to South Africa in 1862.
