Rikstens gård, Manor house in Botkyrka Municipality, Sweden

The brick manor features symmetrical towers and pavilions, standing near the northern shore of Bysjön within the Tullinge area of Botkyrka Municipality.

First documented in 1356, Rikstens gård received its scepter rights in 1615 when royal treasurer Peder Nilsson Gyllenax owned the property.

The 1913 building, designed by architect Knut Nordenskjöld, represents the National Romantic architectural style prevalent in early 20th-century Sweden.

The estate continues its agricultural and forestry operations under AB Rikstens Säteri, maintaining its status as the only active farm in the parish.

Archaeological discoveries near the estate include Stone Age remains and two burial fields from the Late Iron Age, indicating 6,000 years of human presence.
