This essay examines how the organization and size of the mansion household changed atGarpenberg’s mansion between 1800-1899, in the terms of servants, their occupation and wherefrom they were recruited. This has been done by using catechetical lengths as the primary source.By looking at which types of servants that worked within the mansion, and how the structurechanged, this study tries to answer how the organization and size of the mansion household changedduring the 19th century. This survey has shown that the total amount of servants at Garpenberg’smansion increased during the time period, but the mansion household itself remained relativelyconstant throughout the century. In addition, more servants began to form their own households andwere partly no longer dependent of the gentry that owned the mansion.
