Älvsjö gård, Manor house in Älvsjö, Stockholm, Sweden

Älvsjö gård is a wooden manor house in Stockholm built with traditional Swedish design and spacious rooms spanning multiple periods. The building displays crafted details and a structure that reveals changes made over the centuries.

Älvsjö gård is first mentioned at the end of the 16th century, when Baron Jakob Nääf owned it and made it a säteri; his daughter Maria inherited it after his death in 1598, and in 1606 she married Johan Skytte, Gustav II Adolf's teacher. In 1775 Baron Axel Lagerbielke bought the estate and made it a fideikommiss, and the Lagerbielke family held it for nearly 200 years. The wings were moved and joined to the main building in 1712, and around 1900 Gustaf Lagerbjelke had the wings raised a storey and the façades plastered. Stockholm city bought the estate in 1968 and around 1970 restored the main building to its pre-1890 appearance.

The name Älvsjö was written Elffuesio in 1461; the suffix refers to Brännkyrkasjön, a lake east of the manor that was drained in stages and whose site now holds Stockholmsmässan's buildings and car parks, opened in 1971. Since 1968 the manor has been rented out for conferences and used for representation by the leadership of Stockholmsmässan.

The manor is conveniently located with good public transportation access and is easy to reach from different directions. Visitors should check ahead for tour and event schedules, as opening times vary depending on the season.

The manor's former barns burned down in the 1960s; foundation remains can still be seen in the lawns. The red-painted steward's house at the drive retains its vällingklocka, a bell once rung to call workers to meals. Villa Elfkullen, a Jugend-style villa built in 1906 for Gustaf Lagerbjelke, stands on a hill south of the manor.
