Is this grandeur what “Patron Pehr” envisioned all those years ago? Fullersta gård, a 17th-century mansion, stands before us as a testament to time and transformation. This isn’t just any old building. Fullersta gård has witnessed centuries of Huddinge’s history, from its humble beginnings as one of the area’s oldest settlements to its current role as a beacon of art and culture. Imagine the year 1848. A former farmhand named Pehr Pettersson, later known as “Patron Pehr”, purchases this grand estate. Driven by ambition and business acumen, he made his fortune in the distillery business, his success reflected in the very walls of Fullersta gård. His legacy extends beyond the mansion itself. Patron Pehr’s generosity led him to donate land for the railroad, securing a station nearby, which is now Huddinge station. He also championed a new road connecting Huddinge to Stockholm, paving the way for easier transport and trade. Today, Fullersta gård houses a modern art museum, its halls showcasing both temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection featuring works by Swedish artists like Karin Boye and Ewert Karlsson. As you explore the grounds, take a moment to appreciate the stories etched into its very foundation. Fullersta gård is a beautiful tapestry woven from history, ambition, and artistic expression, a must-see for anyone seeking a glimpse into Huddinge’s vibrant past and present.
