Description

THE manor of Lindholm lies in the centre of a smiling district about twenty miles north of the capital of Sweden.

Placed on a height between two fairy lakes, it commands a wide and varied prospect over the surrounding country.

The summit of this height was crowned, at the close of the fifteenth century, by a celebrated mansion.

Time and the ravages of man have long since thrown this mansion to the ground; but its foundation, overgrown with moss and fast crumbling to decay, still marks the site of the ancient structure, and from the midst of the ruins rises a rough-hewn stone bearing the name Gustav Vasa.

On this spot he was born, May 12, 1496.
