Ribbingebäck Manor is a grand old building with a varied history, ranging from the seat of noble families, through treatment centers for alcoholics, to today's pleasant accommodation option when visiting Uppsala and the area north of Lake Mälaren.
The manor house is located in the middle of the agricultural landscape where the Jansson family produces organic grain, feed and has beef cattle with calves.
The rooms are of hostel standard and have self-catering kitchens. There are 2 single rooms, 6 double rooms and 1 family room. For all cyclists, it is a perfect place to stay because Sverigeleden runs past outside the gate.
You can also rent the mansion as a party venue for up to 70 people. A commercial kitchen is available, as well as free WiFi and good parking facilities. Contact with a catering company can be arranged.
In the 18th century, Baron Adam Cederhielm lived on the estate. He was an open-minded and enlightened man who, among other things, propagated the idea of eating horse meat, which had been taboo since the 11th century. In the famine year of 1783, he invited 397 crofters and farmers, slaughtered his own horse and had the meat prepared for the hungry crowd. The event was widely publicized in its time and it became fashionable among the aristocracy to offer horse meat.
