The Wallenberg family’s oldest roots are in Vallby, Skärkinds parish in Östergötland. Most of the men in the earlier family are found within the church – priests, bishops and in education – lecturers and supervisors. The most known is probably André Oscar Wallenberg, whose father was a bishop and who started Stockholms Enskilda Bank in 1856.
He fought for women’s right to work and had many, many children. He was the son of Bishop Marcus Wallenberg and the Wallenberg family owned a farm on Nygatan in Linköping. This farm, in more modern times known as Eskiltunasliperiet, was moved in its entirety and is now located at the Gamla Linköping Open-Air Museum, where it now functions as the Pharmacy Museum.
