OUR STORY

Welcome to Hotel Stallbacken, a gem situated on our family estate, which has been in our possession since 1771. Over eight generations, the estate has been passed down from father to son and evolved in various ways. Today, Storgård, formerly known as Grännäs Gård, is managed by Mikael Granqvist.

In the 1700s, when we were part of Sweden, Grännäs Gård served as a cavalry farm, providing a foot soldier and a rider at the king’s disposal. In the mid-1800s, Grännäs also became a hub for shipbuilding. Anders Granqvist founded Grännäs Varv on Varvsudden, and over three generations, two schooners and a brig were built here. Shipping was a significant source of income for the estate until the late 1800s.

After shipping was no longer economically viable, the estate transitioned to self-sufficiency and engaged in agriculture and forestry. In 1997, Hans, Lisbeth, and Mikael Granqvist opened Grännäs Bed & Breakfast, which later evolved into Hotel Stallbacken. Today, we offer 13 comfortable hotel rooms in two charming estate buildings.

Hotel Stallbacken has become a place where we provide various conference, accommodation, celebration, and activity services. Travelers from around the world come to Stallbacken to enjoy the beautiful nature and experience our historic family estate. We take pride in offering a tranquil retreat, where the peaceful surroundings enhance your stay. We look forward to welcoming you to a memorable stay, where every step you take is part of our long and rich history.
