Home to Prince Gustav, ‘the Singing Prince’, in the 1850s, Stjernsund Manor contains one of the best-preserved 19th-century interiors in Sweden, with elegant furniture and gilt, glass and velvet fixtures and fittings. There’s also an appealing cafe in the nearby estate-manager’s old house. The manor is 5km south of Askersund; the best way to get there is via a day cruise on the M/S Wettervik .
