World-famous botanist Carl Linnaeus bought the property in 1758 and spent summers here with his family. Hammarby is now one of Sweden's best preserved estates from the 18th century, with household items, clothing, and art that tell us more about Linnaeus, both his private life and his scientific achievement. An exhibition reflects on the family's life on the farm. In the park are many of the plants grown by Linnaeus himself. From the hill above, you can enjoy the beautiful view and dream back to the landscape of the 18th century. Café.
