Linnaeus' country estate – a national treasure
Carl Linnaeus bought the small estate Hammarby, 15 km SE of Uppsala, in 1758. He wanted a farm in the countryside where he could spend the summers together with his family, away from the unhealthy environment of Uppsala.
Today, few Swedish manors offer such an authentic 18th century setting. It reflects the private life of Linnaeus as well as his scientific work.
