Every design for Djursholm

Broad avenues, large plots and imposing villas set the tone in Djursholm, the district of Danderyd spreading between the bays of Stora and Lilla Värtan. National romanticism, neoclassicism and functionalism meet along the streets, and the area counts among the country's most exclusive - a district that over the years has housed names from finance, business, academia and cultural life.

Djursholms slott, where Danderyd's municipal administration sits, is an obvious centrepiece, and a walk takes you past the tall Cedergrenska tornet and the handsome Villa Kassman. Up at the Svalnäs and Ösby burial grounds you sense that life went on here long before the villa era.

It is exactly that mixture of old and new that makes the map come alive - run your finger from the castle by the water up towards the tower, and you have a small Sunday walk on the fabric.
