The Stegsholm's Farm

The Stegsholm's Farm

This is Stegsholm. Today a a farm and a treatment centre for boys with addiction problems. Back in 1860 Prince Carl, who later became King Charles XV, bought Stegsholm and turned it into an education centre for poor and orphaned kids. An even earlier owner, Wilhelm Hellgren was responsible for turning the then island to the peninsula it is today. The whole peninsula is today a nature reserve and I took a walk around the footpath which starts here at a café close to the farm buildings.
