Stockholm, Skansen · Sweden · Manor

This manor at the Skansen open-air museum carries a dark legend of a messenger murdered for a bag full of money.

Skogaholm Manor is a Carolean manor house relocated to the Skansen open-air museum in Stockholm. An old legend clings to it: a messenger is said to have been killed for a leather bag full of money, and a servant fell under suspicion. The tale has followed the house and lends its handsome 18th-century setting an uneasy undertone. The manor is shown as part of Skansen.
