At Söderfors Herrgård, guests stay in elegant rooms with historic charm and views of the garden and the river Dalälven. Here, cultural heritage meets modern comfort – the ideal setting for a fruitful conference, a romantic weekend, or a quiet getaway.
Söderfors Herrgård is a historic manor house in the heart of Uppland, built in 1690 by Claes Anckarström. The village Söderfors has a heritage as Sweden’s only anchor smithy, producing anchors for the navy since the 17th century. Over the years, the manor developed into a historic cultural centre, and today guests can experience the wings of history throughout the hotel.
Under new management and owners since 2023, the manor has undergone a gentle renovation and has been transformed into a luxurious waterfront resort with 45 guest rooms, spa and gym, restaurant and bar – everything tastefully decorated whilst keeping history alive.
“We offer exclusive accommodation in four different buildings, each with its own history and style, with preserved details from the 17th century,” says Alex Paloranta, CEO. ”On the banks of the river Dalälven, we offer food, entertainment and activities all year round in a unique historic manor house environment.”
Quality, comfort and inspiration
Söderfors Herrgård provides a conference experience that combines historic charm with modern comfort. Surrounded by lush nature and stunning architecture, the manor is an inspiring and peaceful environment, where new ideas can emerge and team spirit is strengthened.
The elegant meeting rooms are equipped to meet today’s demands for productivity and technology, while the salons and scenic surroundings create a balance between work and relaxation. Choose from half-day, full-day and two-day packages, or opt for tailor-made arrangements with activities and accommodation.
“Wake up to the tranquillity of the river Dalälven and start the day with a generous breakfast in our restaurant before the conference continues,” says Paloranta. “Söderfors Herrgård provides your conference or business meeting with a unique setting where history meets today’s demands for quality, comfort and inspiration.”
Relaxing spa and sauna boat
Comfortable overnight accommodation awaits in the main building and the beautiful wings. Each building has its own character and offers different amenities, perfect for both relaxation and adventure, and ideal for festive events and weddings.
The manor also tempts with a relaxing spa that features Jacuzzi, saunas and massage treatments. As a hotel guest or a member, you have access to the newly opened and fully equipped gym for strength, fitness and mobility training – it has everything you need for a great workout.
“Guests can also relax in our wood-fired sauna boat,” says the CEO. “Up to 12 people can enjoy the warmth of the sauna and the tranquillity of the river Dalälven. Combine with dinner and an overnight stay at the manor – for ultimate relaxation.”
Söderfors Herrgård encourages guests to explore the unique halls, try activities such as tennis and lawn games, and discover the garden and its surroundings during their stay. Within 30 minutes’ drive, you will also find golf courses, castles, and sites with Viking history.
Top-notch food and events
The dining room, with original hand-painted ceilings from 1690, serves classic dishes with a modern twist. The restaurant offers lunch, dinner and seasonal menus all year round, with a focus on sustainability, quality and taste – with vegetables, meat, fish and poultry from the region taking centre stage. “Our chefs create top-notch dishes based on produce from the rich variety of farms in Uppland,” says Paloranta.
The classic Christmas culinary experience, Julbord, kicks off on 28 November. “Last year, we had around 1,500 guests enjoying our Christmas smorgasbord, and we’re hoping for even more this year. On 6 and 13 December, you can also visit our popular Christmas market.”
Experience memorable events at Söderfors Herrgård, from music quizzes, live music and theme dinners to seasonal parties and special evenings. Whether planning a romantic weekend, a wedding or a professional business event, Söderfors is an exceptional environment where history, tranquillity and quality are at the core.
