Munthe’s Hildasholm is situated alongside Lake Siljan, just to the north of Leksand’s Church. The estate was built in 1910-11 by doctor and writer Axel Munthe, the creator of Villa San Michele on Capri. Walking into Hildasholm is like entering another world. Here one can have a close-hand look at the art and handicrafts, Swedish and foreign, collected and brought to Hildasholm during the first part of the 20th century. Hildasholm's gardens, planned and constructed by Hilda Munthe during the 1910's and 20's, offer the visitors of today both astounding beauty and pleasant surprises. A coffee/tea picnic basket from Hildas Garden Cafe can be brought along to your favourite spot of the park. Open Daily from June 9 to September 2.
