Tjolöholm Castle is Sweden’s leading Art and Crafts property. The castle was built between 1898 and 1904, and is a mixture of 16th century English architecture combined with all the modern comforts from the turn of the century.
Surrounding the castle is a formal garden, which slowly transforms into natural English style parkland. The estate is situated on its own peninsular, and numerous footpaths lead through oak forests and coastal landscape.
A society of its own Tjolöholm is unique in that the estate was built to provide its own little society. Inside the castle’s gates an ideal community was built. In addition to the castle there is a village, where the estates workers originally lived, with its own church and village hall including a library, school and meeting place. The workers village is an example of the last century’s ‘National Romantic’ style, some of the houses have been restored and are available to rent.
