Linnaeus' country estate – a national treasure

The small estate Hammarby, 15 km SE of Uppsala, was bought by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. He wanted a farm on the countryside where he could spend the summers together with his family, away from the unhealthy environment of Uppsala.

Today, few Swedish manors present such an authentic milieu. It reflects the private life of Linnaeus as well as his scientific work.
