Västerstads herrgård, Historic mansion in Hörby Municipality, Sweden.
Västerstads herrgård is a mansion in Hörby Municipality with 13 rooms, high ceilings, and interconnected salons designed by architect Helgo Zetterwall. The building spans multiple floors and features various formal living areas.
The estate was founded in 1828 by Jakob Pontusson De La Gardie as a large landholding with dairy production, sheep farming, and distillery operations. These enterprises were typical of Swedish mansions during that era.
The mansion preserves its Swedish heritage through details like the gray stone ground floor and symmetrical boxwood garden with a central fountain. These elements show how wealthy families designed their homes during the 19th century.
The house offers several bedrooms across different levels, making it suitable for larger groups or multiple generations. The room arrangement allows flexible use for visitors and residents.
The billiard room conceals three secret doors within its walls and is crowned by an ornate coffered ceiling. These hidden passages connect the room to other formal areas of the house.
