My interest in Partille and its mansion was awakened during my several years of work with the district of Utby, which until 1928 belonged to Partille before it was incorporated into Gothenburg. While working on Utby, many people and events that could be directly linked to Partille Manor appeared, which increased my curiosity about the building and its history. While other mansions in western Sweden appear to be fairly well documented, Partille Manor does not seem to have attracted the same attention.

The emergence and development of the manor over time and not least the varying ownership conditions, which in turn may have left their mark on the design of the building, its inherent atmosphere and life in the surrounding community, seems to be a fascinating story and very important to document and tell for posterity.

Through our research, my colleague Dr. Eva Wolf and I intend to shed light on the unique cultural-historical character of Partille Manor.
