Tullinge house, Manor house in Botkyrka Municipality, Sweden.
Tullinge house is a former manor and säteri in Tullinge, Botkyrka Municipality. Its 17th-century main building, a wooden house of 30 rooms under a hipped gable roof, burned to the ground on 13 February 1943 and was never rebuilt; a grey stone retaining wall marks its former foundation. Four detached wings remain east of the courtyard, including the light-rendered stone Kungsstugan with a pyramid roof and 17th-century cellar vaults.
Tullinge was a village of three farms in the early 17th century. In 1630 the district judge Johan Adler Salvius acquired two of them, and the crown gave him the third for his role in negotiating the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The estate stayed in his family until 1722. Its 17th-century main building burned to the ground on 13 February 1943 and was never rebuilt.
The name Tullinge was written þulunge in 1353, when the farmer Clauus in þulunge was recorded in a land exchange; it may derive from the Old Swedish man's name þuli or from þula, "height", fitting the estate's elevated position. The Kungsstugan takes its name from King Fredrik I, who by tradition used it for hunts in the area. The poet Gustaf Fröding lived there in 1907–1908 with nurse Signe Trotzig and cook Lotten Johansson, and Erik Axel Karlfeldt, Albert Engström and painter Richard Bergh visited him.
The four remaining wings stand east of the former main building's site, whose grey-stone foundation wall faces the park to the west. Botkyrka parish has owned the buildings since 2005 and runs its activities here, so the wings are not a public museum. The English park was donated for the building of Tullinge Church, consecrated in 1958.
The main building, a 30-room wooden house from Johan Adler Salvius's time, burned to the ground on 13 February 1943 and was never rebuilt. What remains is a grey stone retaining wall, the former foundation, facing the park to the west. After the fire the Claesson family moved into one of the wings.
