Sätra Bruk hosts seminars, board retreats and team days for groups of 8 to 50 people, with 47 beds on the estate itself. The place is an old ironworks settlement in Undenäs, Sweden, set among forest and lakes roughly midway between Stockholm and Gothenburg. Meeting rooms, lodging, restaurant and outdoor activities all sit within the same estate, so a group can stay on site for the whole programme.
Seminars and company events
The estate offers six meeting rooms, spread over two buildings. Every room has wifi, a sound system, access to breakout rooms and copying equipment. Evenings can continue with dinner and a drink, since the estate holds full licensing rights, so the conference programme can run into the night without leaving the grounds.
The organisers describe the atmosphere as nature-focused: food cooked from scratch, time for recovery between sessions and activities around the estate. Nearby options listed on the site include canoeing or kayaking on the Edsån, hiking in the Hovet nature reserve, crayfish fishing and team-building sessions run by a local partner, Ösjönäs.
Rooms and capacities
Släggan in the Smedjan building is the largest room and takes up to 50 people. Nygården holds up to 25 and looks over the Edsån and the lawns. Hammaren, on the upper floor of Smedjan, seats up to 12 and is fully equipped. Tången, a modern room for small groups, and Ässjan, also upstairs in Smedjan, each take up to 8. Bälgen is a smaller room without technology, also for up to 8.
Accommodation
Four buildings provide 47 beds in total. Gästgården, the former ironworks office and shop, has five renovated single rooms. Kamrersgården has 11 beds in single and double rooms and a shared lounge. Nygården, the newest building, has eight double rooms along the river, each with a terrace or balcony and daylight. Herrgården, the manor house built in the 1790s as the ironworks owner's home, has 15 beds.
This mix suits groups who want to share a building but keep private rooms. A group of 50 would need the full 47 beds plus some day guests, so for the largest meetings, check numbers with the estate.
Catering
Meals are prepared from scratch in the estate's own kitchen, and a restaurant operates on site. Dinner and drinks can be included in the programme. Dietary needs can be discussed when the booking is made.
History and setting
Sätra Bruk has been a gathering place for more than 200 years. The estate lies beside the Edsån, and the buildings keep their old names: the forge (Smedjan), the manager's house (Kamrersgården) and the manor (Herrgården). Camper pitches are also offered on the grounds.
