Söderlångvik

Söderlångvik has been inhabited since the early 16th century. In the past it frequently changed hands. Owners in the sixteenth century were called de Jonsson or Jönsson, in the 17th century Michelsson, Tomasson, Sigfridsson and Faxell-Cronmarck. In the 18th century Söderlångvik was owned for a long period by the Thesleff family and in the early 19th century by the af Petersen and Ramsay families, owners of Björkboda manor.

In 1927 Amos Anderson, famous Finnish businessman and art collector, purchased the manor and farm. The main building was totally reconstructed in 1934-1935. After Anderson’s death ownership was transferred to the art association Konstsamfundet. Today Söderångvik is an art and culture-historical museum. The exhibition tells about Amos Anderson and his art collections.

Applegardens, forestry, restaurant Café Söderlångvik, group visits and many events are main parts of activities at Söderlångvik Manor. Söderlångvik Manor is a vibrant entity that manages a valuable cultural heritage and actively develops new business ideas.
