Saka Sackhof
In 1626 Gustav II Adolf granted the Saka lands to Jürgen Leslie, a Scot from Aberdeen, whose heirs held the estate for 120 years. It later passed to the Wrangells and, from the 1810s, to the Löwis of Menar family. In 1862–1864 Oscar von Löwis of Menar built a Neo-Renaissance house on the edge of a large park, with a central tower of tall, narrow windows rising above its flat roofs.
