The Summer House

Täcka udden The garage The boathouse at Täcka udden
Täcka Udden. The story is that Carl Gustaf Tessin held a Midsummer party here. With many prominent guests, including a few royals, and it was talked about for a long time, hence the name, Täcka, an old word, no longer in use, but it means beautiful, so it must have been quite a party. Later the property was rebuilt by a "Grosshandlare", or merchant. Today owned by the Wallenberg family. The garage in the second photo today houses the family archive. The third photo shows the boathouse with new and old buildings at Kvarnholmen in Nacka on the other side of Saltsjön.
