Villa Giacomina
The Villa Giacomina located in Stenhammar on the shores of Lake Vänern about 5 kilometers north of the Swedish city of Lidköping .
The Villa Giacomina was originally a small pleasure palace , which was built around 1800 by Claes Julius Ekeblad. In 1818 Count Gustav Piper acquired the pleasure palace and had it rebuilt in the Italian style . Two free-standing wing buildings were also built. Gustav Piper renamed the castle Villa Giacomina after the Italian form of the name of his wife Jacquette, who died in 1816.
The villa is surrounded by an English park . In the park there is a summer house from 1795. Since 1979 the complex has been a listed building as Byggnadsminne .
