This late 19th century palatial home was built for Count Walther von Hallwyl and his wife, Wilhelmina. The countess was a travelbug and collected a lot of art from the places she visited around the world, all of which she ended up donating to Sweden. The house has been preserved as it was in her time. Every inch of it bursts with artworks, stylish paneling, gild work, carpets, exquisite antique furniture, and lovely chandeliers. Even the kitchen and service quarters have been preserved exactly as they were. There are over 50,000 items of interest here in the 40+ rooms.
