Fittja gård

Fittja gård is a two-story manor house built in the Empire style with classical architecture, symmetrical lines, detailed moldings, and a prominent central entrance facing landscaped grounds. The complex includes multiple outbuildings and open areas that visitors can see today.

The estate was first documented in 1299 and became a coaching inn and post station from 1666, where travelers including King Charles XII changed horses during their journeys. It also served as the district court for Svartlösa Hundred from 1660 to 1916, making it a regional administrative center.

The property now houses a multicultural center that hosts community gatherings and educational programs about the region. Visitors can experience how the manor serves as a meeting place where local history and contemporary cultures come together.

The manor complex with its multiple buildings and outdoor areas is accessible through guided tours arranged by the local tourism office. Visitors should check in advance for opening times and specific visit arrangements.

From 1660 to 1916, this property served as both a residence and the legal hub for the entire district, hosting judicial proceedings for the region. Its role as a courthouse alongside its function as a dwelling made it a gathering place for legal matters across the area.
