Welcome to Eneby gård!
by Mette LindbladWe hope to welcome you to Eneby Gård, an old priest farm from 1762. Come and stay in one of our apartments in the old ”arbetarbostaden”, a house with both history and charm.
The garden, house and nature around have a very peaceful atmosphere. With our Gotländska chickens free ranging in the surroundings…

Here you can find a bit of everything. You can stay in a chair under a beautiful 350 year old tree and read all day, and do absolutely nothing. Just be ”here and now”. Or you can be active with hiking, canoeing, cycling, fishing and culture.
All of this and more is what our surroundings can offer!
Welcome!
Emma & Markus
About us and Eneby gård
by Mette LindbladEneby Gård is an ancient Priest’s farm. Our main building – where we live – is from 1762 with an entry gate house from 1733. The workers cottage, where the rental apartments are located is from 1939. This building housed the farm workers that occupied themself with the fields, gardens and annimals.
Our names are Emma and Markus Rosenbaum. We are a very international couple and met one summer in Chamonix France. Markus is German and lived 18 years in Australia. He spend the last 12 years in Chamonix France. Markus owned several Restaurants in Australia. He is a creative qualified chef with enormous experience and multiple talents.
His experience in renovating properties, he acquired over the years, led him into running his professional renovation business in France. This know how enabled us to buy and plan the improvements for Eneby Gård!
Emma works with interior home ware now and has a very long work history in the fashion industry and marketing.
We live permanent with our dog, cats and chickens at Eneby Gård. Everyone who ever visited Eneby expressed the wish to come soon and visit again. Markus does not like to leave the farm and can be met all year wearing his work clothes.
Our chicken are Gotländska country chicken, a race that is pure and traces back to the Vikings already. They run around free all year and give us plenty of ecological powder pink eggs.
If you live here in the country side on a large farm you have to have cats. They are lovely little beasts which keep all rodents under control. Their names are Kajsa and Nikita and they work hard to keep our property perfectly clean!
Although they are halve sisters, they don’t necessarily love each other and one hears and sees them occasionally fighting and chasing each other.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you one day to the beautiful Sörmlands nature. We don’t think there are any language problems, as we talk fluently German, English, French and Swedish.
Welcome to our own little paradise,
Emma & Markus






Activities
by Mette LindbladSörmland
Södermanland, calls itself also Sörmland, is a region in eastern Sweden. The name means the land of the southern people. The southern people where the population South of the lake Mälaren. The region has 8388 km² and a population of 1,2 million.
The region borders to Östergötland, Närke, Västmanland and Uppland. The eastern side is the Baltic sea. The beautiful nature that we love so much is full of luscious fields, that often reach to the side of one of our many lakes and enormous forests full of game, mushrooms and berries. Our lakes are a year round playground on which you can fish paddle, water-ski and long distance ice skate. It’s a perfect blend of open agricultural landscape and forests with scenic small country roads.
The region is also famous for its many castles and mansions. Especially in the summer many of those serve light lunches and delicious fresh cakes and pastries and have also often classical concerts or may be some Jazz in their amazing parks. Some of the best known are Slott Gripsholm or Nyköpingshus but also Julita herrgård.
Sörmland is even full of historic sites dating back to the stone age. You can find mines from the bronze and iron ages.
The very active holiday maker has the opportunity to walk parts or even the whole Sörmlandsleden. This is an approximate 1000km long walking track circling round in Södermanland. Always a possibility to drive to one or another position of the track and hike and picnic for the day.
What to do
• Castles:
More than 400 castles and mansions – most can be visited on a 145km round trip- the best know being Slot Gripsholm (also Tucholsky’s Roman) in Mariafred, a pictoresque village by the Mälaren
• Fine food:
Many good Restaurants in mansions and castles and also the surrounding townships. Coffe and cake is a Swedish habit, so you find nice small Cafés and bakeries everywhere you may drive

Shopping
The drive to Flen is 12 km, takes about 10 minutes and you find there several large Supermarkets, a Pharmacies, Bottle shop and more. We recommend to go to Katrineholm however, 16km and a 15 minute drive. It is much bigger, has a large industrial area and more choice.
We also have a small Supermarket in Valla just 5 km and a 5 minute drive from us
Proximities and Public Transport connections
You can easily take a train from the railway station in Katrineholm or Flen to Stockholm for a sightseeing day trip. From Katrineholm departs the fast train and takes just 55 minutes to Stockholm central station, but the regional train is with 1hr 15 minutes just a little bit slower and a bit cheaper and stops and leaves from both towns. Also the attractive townships of Eskilstuna, Norrköping and Linköping are even a shorter car drive or train ride away from.
If you don’t want to drive you can also take the bus line 780, direct 500m from us, which brings you either direction stopping right in front of the Katrineholm or respective Flen railway station.
