This is an old estate in Österhaninge, known as Sanda. I visited Sanda last summer together with Karin Aspberg from the local historical association. I took exterior and interior photos for a book about the farms in this part of Haninge while Karin interviewed the owner Pontus Braunerhielm. I received my copy of the book last week. In it you can read a lot about the history of this estate and the families that have lived here, including the Braunerhielm clan. The name Sanda dates back to 1362. A runestone was discovered here around 1850 and today it stands in the garden. I have a lot of photos from this part of Haninge in a flickr set called Vikingland and I'm trying a new Google map feature, so if you are interested try it out and tell me how it works. You can scroll through the photos, look at them large and also read the facts right here. Very clever idea if you ask me.

Amazing technology. Nice job...beautiful building.
The google map works great. Good luck with the book.
Congratulations on being a key contributor to this book. And, the Google map is fascinating. You are quite a technical wizard, always 100 steps beyond what I know how to do.
A very clever idea indeed Steffe. Enjoyed looking at the photos..Arsta Castle is very impressive and I did smile at 'nothing special' :)
