The Crown bought this property in 1920 as an officers’ quarters.


Near Lugnet was a leafy fruit and garden centre with meadows stretching down to the jetty towards Vaxholm with a fantastic views over the mirror of water and the steamships.
A ruined Lugnet was burned down during a fire drill at the end of the 1970s.
