History

Katrinetorp's farm in southern Malmö was formed in

1799 when the court marshal Lave Beck-Friis at
Bosjökloster requested the land be shifted. He then
sold it to the merchant Samuel Johan Björkman,
who in 1800 began building the property. He
called the farm Catharinetorp after his wife Anna
Catharina Bager. He also leased the farm
Petersborg, which gave its name to the traffic area
that today exists between the two farms.
Petersburg was owned by Björkman's father-in-law
and the farm is still in the Bager family's possession
today.
(Samuel Johan Björkman 1769-1809)
 Katrinetorp Malmö
Samuel Björkman died in 1809, aged 40. He had then managed to build a farmhouse, a lodge, a stable, a
simpler half-timbered dwelling, the eastern wing and a threshing mill. The gardener Hinric Nyman was the one
who began to lay out the magnificent garden and park. In 1810, the widow sold the farm to her younger brother
Erland Gabriel Bager. The Bager family moved into Katrinetorp and when the family's fourth child was born, the
small half-timbered house became too cramped. Bager then completed Samuel Björkman's plans for a new
residential building. This was completed in 1813 and is the house that is still the farm's main building today. The
ground floor is richly decorated with wall and ceiling paintings by the decorative painter Christian Laurentius
Gernandt.
He also built a carriage house and a forge, and in 1818 the half-timbered house was demolished to make way
for a building of the same dimensions as the east wing. In 1822, the Bager family moved to the farm Snapparp,
which he had built.
In 1826 Katrinetorp was hit by a big fire which destroyed all the buildings except the main building and the west
wing.

The ground floor of the east wing also remained. Bager rebuilt the barn and lodge in 1828, but sold Katrinetorp
in 1832 to merchant and shipowner Thomas Frick.

Thomas Frick was one of Malmö's foremost merchants and was married to his cousin Anna Christina Mandorff. He
had his trading farm in the Magnus Stenbock quarter, where Södertull is now located. Frick rebuilt the other
outbuildings around the enclosed yard and also the eastern wing on the old foundation. The Frick family never
settled at Katrinetorp but spent the summers there and also held large parties. Thomas Frick died in 1867 and
was Malmö's richest man at the time of his death.

The son David Gilius Frick, who was a farmer and lived at Alstadgården in Fru Alstad, inherited the farm. Upon
his father's death, he moved into the commercial estate at Gustav Adolfs torg.

He closed the trading yard and

devoted himself to money
investing, tending his farms and
charity. David Frick was very
interested in gardening and is
considered to be the one who
developed the garden. David
Frick died in 1901 and is
buried in the Old Cemetery
with his father.
 Katrinetorp Malmö David Gilius Frick

David Gilius Frick, born 7 March 1823 in Malmö, died 26 September 1901, was a Swedish landowner.

Frick, who was the son of merchant Thomas Frick, inherited in 1867, as the only child, his father's entire fortune,
which included cash, large properties at Södra Tullgatan in Malmö and the properties Katrinetorp in Bunkeflo
parish and Alstadgården in Fru Alstads parish and a property in Västergötland . He was brought up to take over
his father's business, but devoted himself mainly to the care and management of the inherited properties.
However, he was strongly conservative and managed these in the same way as his father, contrary to
contemporary principles in the agricultural field. Unlike his father, however, he showed great benevolence towards
his subordinates. Frick, who was perceived as a very original personality, also used his large fortune for a very
extensive, but often all too unplanned, charity. Frick's garden at Katrinetorp's farm has been named after him, of
which he is considered to have been the main author. David Frick is buried in the Old Cemetery in Malmö.
During the early 20th
century, Katrinetorp
had five different
owners before the
farm was bought by the
city of Malmö.
Katrinetorp was then
rented out until 1990
and in the mid-1990s
renovation of the
buildings began.

Beck-Friis is a Swedish noble family introduced at Riddarhuset. The origin of the Beck-Friis family is the Danish
noble family Beck, which owned Bosjökloster and Gladsax House, with several castles in Scania. Jochum Beck,
who became a Swedish subject in 1660, was married to a daughter of the Danish chancellor Christian Friis. His
grandson, lieutenant colonel Joachim Beck, inherited the Frisian fideicommiss Hevringsholm in 1731, and in 1733
was allowed to combine the name and coat of arms of this family with his own, after which he called himself
Beck-Friis. As he left only one daughter, the fideicommission and the name passed to the brother, Major Corfitz
Ludvig Beck-Friis (1685–1761), father of the Riksdag Joachim Beck-Friis (1722–1797), who in 1770 became
baron and in 1771 count. In 1791, the countship was also extended to his nephew, Corfitz Ludvig Beck-Friis
(1767–1834), progenitor of the now living family branch.

Samuel J. Björkman bought in 1799 from the court marshal, baron Lave Beck-Friis at Bosjökloster some farms in
Vintrie village, and a few years later additional lands in this village from captain Vilhelm Wrangel von Brehmer
and a couple of farmers. He thus got a manor of about 400 acres which he named after his wife Anna Catharina
Bager. From the beginning, the Katrinetorp farm had its still-preserved basic form with a main building and barn
that opened towards each other and were separated by driveways. In the years 1800-08, the barn buildings and
two one-story wings were built as a distillery and brew house. Björkman died in 1809 without having been
allowed to build the main building. The farm was sold at auction to the brother-in-law Erland Gabriel Bager in
Petersburg and it was he who in 1813 became the builder of the beautiful main building. The work was assigned
to the skilled Malmö builder Anders Lundberg (g.m. Samuel Johan Björkman's sister Johanna Kristina). Samuel
Johan had a cousin in the city named Samuel Christer Björkman (s.t. Christer Björkman in Karlskrona). Samuel
Christer was accepted as a partner with his relative on 30.12.1799, became a merchant and commercial
councilor as well as knighted by the king. The Vasa Order. He replaced Cornelius Hegardt in 1812 as one of
three co-directors of Malmö Diskont.

The other two were mayor Carl-Magnus Nordlindh and Henrik Falkman. At the beginning of the 19th century,
Samuel Christer Björkman threw himself into a lucrative import and re-export of colonial goods as well as the
export of Swedish staples such as wood, tar and iron. He also owned several ships and developed into one of the
city's most important merchants. The triumvirate Nordlindh-Björkman-Falkman, however, through dangerous
transactions came to lead Malmö Diskont into insolvency, which in turn led to them being stripped of their titles
and dignity.
Katrinetorp has a checkered history with many changes of ownership behind it. Samuel Johan Björkman and his
wife Anna Catharina Bager were the ones who founded Katrinetorp. When they began to develop their land in
1800, there were neither trees nor buildings in the area. None of the buildings Björkman had built remain today,
but the avenues that lead to the farm from east, west and north date from his time. So also the garden and the
park. One of the people who has left the biggest mark on the farm is Björkman's successor Erland Gabriel Bager,
who had most of the buildings that still stand today erected.

Many of Björkman's employees continued during Bager's time, including a. gardener Hinric Nyman, who created
the large garden complex. Others who were involved in Katrinetorp's growth were master builder Andreas
Lundberg and decorative painter Christian Laurentius Gernandt. Bager's successor was the merchant Thomas Frick,
who had the east wing built. Katrinetorp functioned above all as a summer residence and was also used
extensively for large parties. By having a farm as a pure leisure interest, you showed what position you had in
society, or at least what position you aspired to.

(program host and producer) and former singer.
Björkman won the Melodifestivalen in 1992 with the song "I morgon er en
another dag", written by Niklas Strömstedt, and thus got to represent Sweden in
the Eurovision Song Contest which was organized in Malmö after Carola
Häggkvist won for Sweden in Rome the year before with "Fångad av en
stormvind ". In the final in Malmö, Björkman finished second last (22nd) with 9

a un autre jour", while Strömstedt himself recorded the melody with new lyrics
and the title "Nest sist".
