When is Julia Manor open?

We’re open with full operations in the buildings, café, and shop during the summer season. We’ll publish opening hours and tickets for the 2024 season in April.

Explore the park on your own year-round

The outdoor environment is open year-round for walks and self-guided visits, please feel free to follow our park highlights map (PDF). Leashed dogs are welcome, and you’re welcome to enjoy a picnic in the park.

Please note that Julita Manor is a smoke-free environment with a ban on open fires and grilling. Additionally, most of the park’s plants are part of Nordiska Museet’s living collections, so it’s not allowed to pick plants, seeds, or fruits.

The environment is preserved as it was around the year 1900

Julita Manor is a well-preserved and cohesive manor estate with stables, barns, a brickworks, fire station, dairy, cottages, and tenant houses. There are nearly 360 buildings on the grounds of Julita Manor. The estate covers 2,200 hectares of land, including the manor area, forests, farmland, and fishing waters.

Lieutenant Arthur Bäckström’s home

The last private owner, Lieutenant Arthur Bäckström, bequeathed Julita Manor to Nordiska museet in 1941. We care for and preserve the environments as they appeared around the year 1900. The main house, as we know it today, was built during the first half of the 1730s. Today, the house primarily showcases Arthur Bäckström’s private residence and belongings. You can take a guided tour of the Main House during the summer season.
