Callanderska Gården in the heart of Mariefred was built after the town fire of 1682 and took its current form during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is named after the Callander family, who ran a dye-works and tannery here in the mid-1800s.
Burgher home, dye-works and heritage museum
Around the sheltered courtyard stand the main house furnished as a 19th-century burgher home, the dye-works workshop, carriage sheds, and a traditional country store.
Managed by the Mariefred Local Heritage Society, the museum, exhibitions, and garden café open during the summer months and during seasonal markets.
Its central location makes the courtyard a natural starting point for strolling along Storgatan, Munkhagsgatan, Kärnbogatan, and Rådhustorget.
