Säby Gård
A historical monument steps into the future
Säby Gård is situated next to Säby lake in western Järvafältet’s nature reserve. The farm is listed, of great historical value and an important destination for visitors in Järfälla municipality. Today, the farm is used as a riding school among other things. For this project, we developed proposals both for a new stable block and a preservation and maintenance plan for the long-term management of the listed monument.
Säby Gård‘s manor house was erected in the 17th century from drawings by Nicodemus Tessin senior. The beautiful farm comprises of two wings from the 17th century as well as outbuildings and warehouses from the 19th century. The manor also features a baroque park with a pond and a tree-lined avenue. The facility houses horse riding stables, a pre-school, a home and a café.
Modern stables with a foot in the past
We planned the project and prepared work descriptions for the restoration of several key areas. The work included the old stables and the factor’s house. As antiquarian consultants, we also guided the replacement of pipes. In addition, we oversaw the restoration of the gallery and the stone portals of the manor house. To support the farm’s future management, we developed a preservation and maintenance plan. This plan covers the entire historical environment.
To preserve but also to develop
We planned the project and prepared work descriptions for the restoration of the old stables and the factor’s house.

Preserving the historical building in the best way is a complex task. At the same time, developing it to meet today’s requirements and challenges requires both knowledge and experience.
Our project leaders and specialists in building preservation and antiquarian services worked closely throughout the project.
