d from Skr1490; May-Dec; )
This stately manor house, 6km south of town, is perfect for regal relaxation. Count Per
Brahe owned it in the 17th century, although today it's decorated according to its 18th-cen-
tury past, with chandeliers, brooding oil paintings and suits of armour. Some rooms even
have copper bathtubs. The surrounding woods are ideal for hikers and there's an adjacent
golf course.

Once owned by Amalia Eriksson, the creator of Granna's famous peppermint rock, this

niture, old-fashioned wallpaper and lacy drapes.
