It surprised me that the lovely town of Mariefred is only about 40 kilometers east of Stockholm, Sweden. It seems much further because it is so different. “Only” 40 kilometers is a bit misleading, however, given that most of what lies in between is water and islands. Traveling there by road, as I did recently on...

The engraving depicts a grand manor house surrounded by formal gardens. It is titled "Facies Splendidissimi Ornatißimique Palatii," which suggests it is an illustration of an opulent and ornate palace. The year noted for the engraving is 1696, and it was engraved by Swidde, referring to Willem Swidde, a Dutch artist known for his work in Sweden and his significant contributions to the collection "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" by Erik Dahlbergh. This collection was an ambitious project to document and glorify the Swedish landscape, architecture, and estates during the era when Sweden was a great power in Europe. The engraving would have been intended to showcase the elegance and grandeur of Swedish noble estates in the late 17th century. Sjö Castle, known in Swedish as Sjö slott, is a notable historical estate in Sweden. Sjö Castle is situated in the Parish of Holm within the Municipality of Enköping in the province of Uppland, Sweden. The castle is recognized for its architectural beauty. It embodies the style of a Swedish manor house with influences from different architectural periods. The estate typically features a main building accompanied by various outbuildings, set within landscaped gardens or parkland. The history of Sjö Castle is intertwined with Sweden's past, reflecting the country's cultural and political shifts. Manors like Sjö often served as the residences of the Swedish nobility and were centers of local power and influence. Such estates are valued not just for their architecture but also for their role in Swedish heritage. They often contain art collections, archives, and libraries that provide insight into the lifestyle of the Swedish aristocracy. Historic estates like Sjö Castle are sometimes still privately owned, while others have been converted into hotels, conference centers, or public museums. They host events, tours, and cultural activities, allowing the public to appreciate their historical and architectural significance. More about the engraver: Willem Swidde (also spelled Swidde or Swiddes) was a Dutch draughtsman and engraver known for his work in Sweden during the late 17th century. His exact birth date is not well-documented, but it is generally accepted that he was active during the latter half of the 1600s until his death in 1697. Swidde is most renowned for his contributions to Erik Dahlbergh's "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna," a grand topographical work intended to glorify Sweden, which was a major European power at the time. He was one of the primary engravers for this project, creating a significant portion of the plates. Swidde moved to Stockholm around 1688. His work for the "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna" consisted of illustrations based on drawings by Dahlbergh, which he sometimes corrected and improved in collaboration with Dahlbergh. Despite the Swedish focus of his work, Swidde's style was influenced by his Dutch origins and the broader European baroque trends of the time. His life in Sweden was predominantly dedicated to his work on "Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna." Unfortunately, details about his personal life, training, and early career in the Netherlands are scarce. Swidde's death in Stockholm in 1697 marked the end of a career that had a lasting impact on the visual documentation of Sweden's historical landscapes and architecture.
