Sikfors Herrgård, a manor house four kilometers north of Hällefors in the Bergslagen region of Sweden, is run for small conference groups that want the whole manor to themselves. The main meeting room seats 16 at a conference table, and 16 bedrooms with 32 beds are on site. Organic food and lakeside activities complete the stay.
Seminars and company events
The manor describes itself as a place for smaller conference groups. A group can have the manor to itself, which makes it suitable for creative work, strategy days and retreats. The large conference room has a conference table for 16 seated, plenty of power outlets and a large screen to connect a laptop. The room can also be rearranged into theater layout to seat more people.
Groups can split into smaller teams using other salons and meeting rooms in the manor. Wireless internet covers the whole house, and the staff serve fruit and coffee breaks during the day.
Rooms and capacities
The main conference room is the working space, with 16 seats at the table. Additional salons and meeting rooms are available for breakout groups, but the website does not give their capacities. The festival hall, called the festsal, is described as ready for yoga classes and can host retreats. Capacities for the hall are not published, so ask for them in your request.
Accommodation
There are 16 bedrooms with 32 beds in total, eight in the building called Stångjärnsmagasinet and eight in the building called ästhuset, both next to the manor. This sets the practical size of a residential group at up to 32 guests. The manor can also arrange accommodation for yoga retreats.
Catering
The manor serves good organic food in its dining rooms. Fruit and coffee breaks are provided during meeting days. Vegetarian meals can be arranged for retreats. A cooking course is among the activities that can be added to a stay.
History and setting
Sikfors Herrgård lies by the lake Sör-Älgen, with a swimming jetty and a wood-fired sauna. Guests can also take a cold dip in the stream. After a meeting, the surroundings offer mountain biking, a cooking course, hiking trails and yoga with colleagues. The manor presents the setting as quiet, with little to disturb a working group and a great deal to stimulate it, in the middle of the Bergslagen landscape.
Getting there
The manor is in the north of Örebro county, four kilometers north of Hällefors, at Sikfors 14. It sits roughly halfway between Gothenburg and Stockholm. The official site does not describe public transport, so plan for a car or private transfer and ask the manor about the nearest station.
