302 Kolmården marble

A solid foundation and the world's hardest marble

Stylish double room with silver, grey and black colours. Corner room with views of the castle park.

When Bjertorp is to be built, Knut Henrik Littorin's parental home is moved about 300 meters and rather quickly it is decided to build the castle on a granite foundation. Appropriately enough, Knut Henrik owns an island in Bohuslän, Gåsö, where the granite was carved out and taken to the castle. The façades and walls are built of limestone and taken from the Falköping tract and hauled there in oxfords. It is simply not, especially as there is discord between the dragoons from the different farms and the fights around Stora Hov are talked about. In several of Bjertorp's salons, Boberg chooses to build with one of the hardest marble varieties in the world, Kolmårdenmarmor. It is mined in an area around Sandviken and delivered in addition to Bjertorp also to Stockholm Castle, Uppsala University and Stockholm City Hall. Most famous, however, is probably the magnificent work done on the Blue Hall.
