We welcome you to Bredsjö Herrgård

The grand dining room, built in 1903 at Bredsjö Herrgård

Built in 1903, Bredsjö (Nya) Herrgård has lived many lives. Born from the industrial spirit of Bergslagen, its walls have witnessed generations of gatherings, celebrations, and creative expression. Through each chapter, it has remained a place where people come together.

Today, we are shaping its next chapter as a sanctuary for human connection and shared wisdom. Whether joining us for a peaceful stay, a retreat, or a gathering, you are invited to slow down, immerse yourself in nature, and connect through meaningful conversations and shared experiences.

Our journey to Bredsjö began in 2017, when we packed up our lives in California and moved to Morocco, where our son Ian was born in 2019. In 2020, we moved to Sweden, Erika’s mother’s homeland and the place where she spent her childhood summers exploring the woods and swimming in the lakes around Uppsala. Living in different parts of the world has taught us so much, but perhaps the biggest lesson is how much we have to learn from one another, and how meaningful life becomes when we make time to truly connect.

When we found Bredsjö in 2025, something felt right. We fell in love with the history, the surrounding nature, and the sense of community. We feel incredibly grateful to be caretakers of this special place and to help write it’s next chapter. Our dream is to create a sanctuary where people feel at home, share stories and wisdom, and perhaps leave with a fresh perspective or inspiration for a more conscious way of living.

With open hearts and minds, you are warmly welcome!

Marc, Erika, Ian & Rico 🐾

Guest Reflections

“A true gem inside and out! Set in gorgeous surroundings overlooking the lake, it really feels like a place that invites you to pause, enjoy, and charge your batteries. The house is full of charm and the sauna by the lake is exactly what you'd wish for. Don't think twice, just book it and look forward to it.”

— Christine Clancy

“Recently back from a fantastic getaway weekend at Bredsjö Herrgård and I will definitely return to this magically peaceful property nestled between forrest and lake. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get there without a car from Stockholm and getting picked up at the bus station, upon my arrival, by Marc was just the beginning of their full service. If I could give more than 5 stars for the breakfast, I would. Great destination to rest and recharge, in my opinion.”

— Emily Barouch

“Fantastic place in Bergslagen run by the incredible Marc and Erika! Warm and genuine. Worth one or more visits to relax, get away from the screen and enjoy the peace. Highly recommended!”
