Vaasa Mound and Lindholmens farm
Vallentuna
|Translated by Google translation|
The ruins of the Vasa hill are the remains of the stone house Lindholmen which was built around the year 1450. Here lived Sigrid Eskilsdotter (banners), the grandmother of King Gustav Vasa in the late 1400s. According to contemporary tradition went home to his own mother when to bear children, and they therefore believe that Gustav Vasa was born on Lindholmens farm. A new mansion was built in the 1700s where Lindholmens farm is located today. The present main building was built in 1884 and designed by architect JF Åbom.
