Built by Claes Grill (I), the residence was designed by architect Carl Hårleman in the early 1740s.
It is one of Sweden's oldest preserved country residences.
Claes and his wife Anna Johanna (I), would live in Stockholm during the winter and spend the summers at Svindersvik.
The residence was usually accessed by boat.
The style of the residence is rococo, with many Chinese elements.
At the death of Claes (I), the estate was passed on to his daughter Anna Johanna (II).
The house was sold in 1780, and passed through several owners, until it was bought by silk manufacturer K.A. Almgren in 1863.
As of 1949, the house is owned by the Nordic Museum.
