When doing the usual round along the path around the dams, this big red house appears when you for a while get out of the woods.
It is a fascinating house. It was for sale for SEK 29.500.000 this spring. Have no idea if it got sold in the end or not. It has recently been totally renovated. As isolated as it is situated in the woods with its own grounds surrounding it, but still quite close to the commuter trains and centers, it would be ideal for either a resthome or convention center. It is 1500 square-meters in size and has meetingrooms and sauna on the ground floor. Higher up in the building are rooms tht are about 15-25 square-meters in size with shower and pentry. It was built 1899-1900 by Alfa Laval, then named Separator.
In the beginning it was used for the care of tuberculosis patients who were employed at Alfa Laval. It has later been used as a home for treatment of drug addicts, and also as offices. It has had several different names over the years and been sold several times. It has now been totally renovated. I have no idea if they got it sold after the renovation.
Anyways, it is is a fascinating house in a fascinating style.
