Linnaeus Hammarby
Linnés Hammarby is a manor in the Swedish municipality of Uppsala, about 15 km southeast of the city of Uppsala .
Hammarby was first mentioned in 1337, as the noble Olof Styrbjörnsson from home Gren the estate to the canons of the Cathedral of Uppsala sold. Through sale and inheritance, the court changed hands through the noble families Läma, Stewardt, Gärffelt and from Friesendorff to the court hunter A. Schönberg. In 1758 he sold the estate and the nearby Sävja estate and nine other properties for 80,000 thalers to Carl von Linné .
When Linnaeus took over ownership, there were only two wooden buildings that now represent the wings. He first had today's two-storey main building built out of wood and in 1769 a stone museum was added to the rear of the homestead. This building, in which Linnaeus kept his collections, is also preserved today.
Linnaeus was in the habit of going on excursions to the Hammarby estate with his students, with breakfast at the Sävja estate and dinner at the Hammarby estate. The farm is now managed by Uppsala University and has had Byggnadsminne status since 1935 .
