Welcome to Hildasholm
Where houses and gardens meet England, Italy and the fairy tale world
On the banks of Lake Siljan in Leksand lies Hildasholm, the doctor and author Axel Munthe's wedding gift to his wife Hilda. The house from 1910 is well preserved and surrounded by a fantastic Arts and Crafts centre with gardens in close interaction with nature.
During the summer season we offer guided tours, art exhibitions and events for the whole family. Stroll through the gardens, enjoy a coffee in our café and experience the wings of history in one of Dalarna's most fascinating environments.
Welcome to discover Hildasholm!

Join us for a guided tour inside the beautiful house at Hildasholm. Our knowledgeable guides will take you through the house and its amazing history. Get to know the Munthe family and feel the wings of history in the house from 1911.
The garden is shown by our gardener, and includes both history and gardening knowledge.
Hilda's café
A unique and beautiful garden café in Dalarna, a perfect destination for the whole family.
Here you can enjoy both walking, beautiful nature and good lunch or coffee in the centre of Leksand.
14 green rooms
Many of the gardens at Hildasholm are the work of Hilda. She created them with inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement. In recent years, a kitchen garden and a medicinal garden have also been added.
During July, gardener Ingemar Blomqvist shows the garden every Tuesday and Thursday at 13.

What our visitors think
A cultural and historical gem in the centre of Dalarna
Hildasholm is a unique time machine that lets you experience the high society of the early nineteenth century in a fascinating way. The love of beauty and culture shines brightly in every room. And the feeling that this is not a museum but a real home makes the visit extra memorable.
Hildasholm in Dalarna
Hildasholm, what a beautiful place.
I understand that Axel Munthe and Hilda fell in love with the place. Nice that you got to see so many rooms and the guide was good at telling. Cosy café with good coffee and the garden was beautiful
Easy to park and plenty of toilets
Interesting and enjoyable
Nice place to have a coffee, walk around the gardens, take a guided tour of the house. A couple of interesting and pleasant hours. Very interesting about Axel Munthe and his family.
