Charlottenburgs gård i Solna

About the museum

Charlottenburg was originally a crofter's holding (torp) under Stora Frösunda. In 1801 Adolf Fredrik Wijnbladh had it rebuilt into the house that is now nine rooms long, and laid out a garden and a small English park. The estate was named after his wife, Charlotte Arbin. During the 1800s the farm was a summer retreat, and in 1908 Råsunda Förstads AB took over the area for residential building, but the old farm was preserved.

Solna Municipality bought the farm in the early 1960s and has renovated the buildings. Half of the main building is used by Solna Local Heritage Society, which arranges exhibitions and activities about Solna's history. In the wing, which was renovated in 2012, is Solna School Museum (Solna skolmuseum). The main building and the wing are blue-classified (blåklassade), a heritage designation, and are considered to have exceptionally high cultural-historical value.

On the farm there is a labyrinth of stones, a so-called jungfrudans (maiden's dance), which was created in 1990. In the English park stands a smithy that originally stood at Lilla Frösunda, and a pumping house from Hagalunds torg.
