Skansen

Take a walking tour of historic manor houses and town houses from all over Sweden in an elegant royal-park setting. Note their authentic, carefully preserved furnished interiors. The residences were collected toward the end of the 19th century, when scholar and folklorist Artur Hazelius rescued 150 outstanding traditional houses and placed them here among gardens and allées. Of special note: Skogaholm Manor, built in 1680, has superb Gustavian interiors with decorative pale gray paneled walls. There’s even a plaster bust of Gustav III in the salon.
